Re: trademark in documents
After reading carefully the wikipedia I understand:
1- there is not new license and
2- the use of the logo is free as in freedom if its not used with one modified
version of the firefox program. So I can use the oficial firefox icon.
There is not possible mistake between Firefox and derived programs. Thats the
important point for Mozilla project as wikipedia explains:
"distributions could freely use the Firefox trademark if they did not modify
source-code, and that the Mozilla Foundation's only concern was with users
getting a consistent experience when they used "Firefox"."
In plain: if you modify the program you cant use the name or logo on it.
So my maps do not modify the program, they just helps to explain it and free
software world. I can use the official icon in the map.
Do you agree with me?
