Yet this is a solution looking for a problem. I can't think of any good reason why Debian would *want* to distribute the official logo as part of the distro itself, if we also want it to be redistributed by third parties who we don't want to use said logo. So why does it matter whether the logo is available under a free license? -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
