Subject: Red cross emblem
Hello!
Stumbling across Debian Med and its logo suggestions [1], I thought I'd
give a heads up on the use of the Red Cross emblem. I'm no expert or
anything, but as I understand it, one isn't allowed to use that symbol
other than for things like hospitals, ambulances, medical personnel and
Red Cross personnel. It's not because of copyright issues (I think), but
because the Geneva Convention (article 44) [2] says so and the signatory
countries have probably made laws in accordance with that.
That's all. Some time, I might have a closer look at Debian Med, because
I like medical care, though it is not my profession.
Sincerely,
Jonas Olson
