In order to protect our trademark, we'd either have to give this site
permission to use the trademark and logo, or tell them to stop using the
trademark and logo.
I think a polite reminder of the logo guidelines and permission to use the
trademark would be best for all parties involved. He's probably got enough
business problems without us breathing down his neck about trademarks,
licenses, and other legalese.

Last I heard, it was broken. Fortunately, this doesn't prevent Debian from
giving permission on a case-by-case basis.
