The Debian trademarks and copyrights are held by Software in the
Public Interest. The logos each have a copyright license
<URL:http://www.debian.org/logos/>, but the discussion of the policy
on trademark licensing is ongoing
<URL:http://wiki.debian.org/ProposedTrademarkPolicy>.
If the lawyer wants to, they can contact SPI to get a more official
