Not really. Licensing it under the MIT license means anyone can use the image, fiddle bits, redistribute it, or do whatever with it. Having a trademark policy means that they can't use the image to claim to be Debian when they aren't. This is the part that everyone confuses when discussing trademarks using the paradigm we're familiar with from copyright discussions. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
