Hi Frans,
I have read a few comments like yours over the last year, like the one
about the Russian cellphone shop. Would it be helpfull to include this
short paragraph to make it clear that this alone is not reason enought
for Debian to take action against someone and thus avoid people asking
about these incidents needlessly.
"...
Unfortunately the Debian swirl is relatively easy to create and
quite a few people seem to get basically the same idea (I recently came
across our logo in noodle soup...).
Unless the logo is the exact same shape and/or is used for a service
that could be confused with Debian, there is no real conflict of
interest or basis for legal action.
..."
I suppose a wishlist bug referencing this email against the
www.debian.org would be sufficient?
The logo web page does not include anything like this.
cheers,
Kev
