It seems the logo is becoming a never-ending mess once again. I can't say I am surprised since a logo is something that we should be able to identify with, and clearly we are a wildly heterogeneous group of people. Okay, here is my current plan: first we hold the vote for the number of logos and their license. While that vote lasts people are free to submit new logos for the next vote. Once again the logo team will select a new group, probably consisting of the current selection with a few changes (the modifed D is out for example, I have to say I personally completely missed the fact that the red part forms a L :( ), and once that is presented all developers can add options to the vote via an ammendment to the vote. I also want to introduce two ammendments to the first vote. Firstly to slightly change the license in the case of a single logo to: Copyright (c) 1999 Software in the Public Interest this logo or a modified version may be used by anyone to refer to the Debian project, but does not indicate endoresement by the project. (which means removing the right to revoke the license so it becomes a free license like I originally intended). And for the second license add an explicit or between I.a and I.b and a slight rewording. The new text will then become: Copyright (c) 1999 Software in the Public Interest I. This logo may only be used if: a) the product it is used for is made using a documented procedure as published on www.debian.org (for example official CD-creation), or b) official approval is given by Debian for its use in this purpose II. may be used if an official part of debian (decided using the rules in I) is part of the complete product, if it is made clear that only this part is officialy approved III. We reserve the right to revoke a license for a product Since I was also the proposer for the motion and the changes do not really alter the (intended) meaning of the text the discussion period does not need to be restarted. So if noone objects within 24 hours I'ld like to sent out a call for votes. I sincerly hope that everyone can agree with this approach and stop complaining all the time.
