I think to change the 50% clause would be the best solution. As Lalo
pointed out the license makes it in many cases impossible to promote
Debian using the official logo. If I was a CD vendor I can not offer
Debian together with more than 50% Red Hat or Caldera on the same page
or I'm not allowed to show the logo!?

This would be a good idea for all the people out there who want to use
such a thing but not to create it themselves. I'd like to see such a
thing.
As some are currently working to get a debian ad into the next LJ issue
I wonder why we don't try to find people who are willing to present a
debian ad-banner on their page. Perhaps on Slashdot or... a site where
also non Linux users pass by? Someone having an idea?
To get an impression how such a banner could look like check:
