Hi all, by following a link [1] in another thread [2], I noticed that the open use logo (without the "Debian" text) has finally been relicensed under the terms of the Expat license! [1] http://www.debian.org/logos/index [2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2008/11/msg00047.html This is good and bad news at the same time, IMHO. It's good news, since something has at last been done to improve the awkward "non-free logo for a Free OS" issue. Please bear in mind that the first discussions I am aware of started long ago: see for instance bug #212895 [3]. [3] http://bugs.debian.org/212895 It's bad news as well, since only the open use logo without the "Debian" text has been dealt with. See my unanswered questions to the previous DPL [4] [4] http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/12/msg00056.html Moreover, this change was apparently done without any announcement, after years of discussions and repeated requests. I expected to hear about such a relicensing on debian-legal or on debian-devel-announce, but nothing has been announced yet, AFAICT... As a Debian user (IANADD, TINASOTODP), I am a bit disappointed by this situation. -- On some search engines, searching for my nickname AND "nano-documents" may lead you to my website... .....................................................
