Please take a look at http://www.debian.org/logos/index , the part about
the open use logo with "Debian" reads as follows:
"This logo or a modified version may be used by anyone to refer to the
Debian project, but does not indicate endorsement by the project."
It seems to be the case for me; the Logo in the quilt is still a
reference to our project (she created the quilt after hearing about the
project and for you, from whom he heard about our project).
The second paragraph of the license "Note: we would appreciate that you
make the image a link to http://www.debian.org/ if you use it on a web
page." well... If you like you could ask to place a sign nearby the
quilt in the exhibition ("More information about the Debian operating
system can be found at http://www.debian.org"; or something similar), but
it's not necessary.
Best regards,
Alexander Reichle-Schmehl,
Debian Spokesperson
PS: Just out of curiosity I would appreciate, if could send me / point
me to a picture of the quilt in the exhibition :)
