It is, but ... > I can reproduce the GAP logo in 3 clicks in Inkscape. Does it mean I can > use it for my own clothing shop? NO, of course. Because the GAP logo is a trademark? > A trademark is a trademark. If we don’t enforce it, we lose it. But the swirl is no trademark. > I hope this time, for such blatant violation, SPI takes action. Actually SPI already had taken actions a while ago, and changed the license terms for the swirl. Please be reminded of the text on <http://www.debian.org/logos/>, read it again, and come to the same conclusion: The trademark is *only* refering to the swirl with the debian lettering attached. The swirl on itself is MIT/BSD licensed. Granted, they didn't "include" the copyright notice and "this" permission notice with the copy on their site, but that still isn't a trademark issue. The much I dislike the new license which leaves the swirl open to use for everyone for everything they see fit, it's what was chosen for it.
