CUPS name and trademark



Hello list,

As we probable are all aware of, the CUPS name and logo are trademarks owned by Apple. On the CUPS website at http://www.cups.org we can read that one cannot use the name and logo on derivative works without Apple's consent.

Since the Debian package for CUPS contains a number of patches that are not in the upstream source code, I think it's safe to say the Debian's version of CUPS can be called a derivative work.

My question: did Debian ever got Apple's consent to redistribute their modified version of CUPS under the same trademarked name and bearing the trademarked logo?

Best regards,
Tommy
