The proposed license keeps the spirit of the old one, while not restricting the logo's use. ======================================================================== It seems that the Open Use Logo is not DFSG-free and there has been no objection to this claim on debian-legal. http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/debian-legal-200309/msg00823.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/debian-legal-200309/msg00842.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/debian-legal-200309/msg00877.html The current Open Use license prevents modification if it is not used to refer to the Debian project. This fails DFSG 8. Simon
