In the current stat of "cooperation", it seems that the reason for _not_
using the baby gnu logo has nothing to due with the "separation". As Bruce
(sort of) said, the reason could be stated as:
"we wanted our own logo"
"no need to use theirs because we're a stand-alone entity" etc.
This fits your example. The statement as it is screams "un-cooperation" to
me.
This is a simple issue. Let's not get carried away like the editor thread!
