logo license with debian - no warranty missing?
Hi! On #debian-www will raised concerns that there might be issues with respect to our logo license for including the debian lettering. It doesn't contain a warranty waiver, and given that we publish svg images which could contain potential harmful scripting (from will's interpretation, not sure if that actually is possible or if there is some sandbox involved?) this might be considered an issue. Is this something we should change? Not worry about? Much Ado Nothing?

It doesn't contain a warranty waiver, If I understand correctly, the concern is about the Debian Open Use Logo with the “Debian” text [1]. This logo is still non-free according to the DFSG, as explained in the logos page [2], and indeed it seems that no disclaimer of warranty is present in its license. [1] for instance http://www.debian.org/logos/openlogo-100.png [2] http://www.debian.org/logos/ and given that we publish svg images which could contain potential harmful scripting (from will's interpretation, not sure if that actually is possible or if there is some sandbox involved?) this might be considered an issue. Is this something we should change? Not worry about? Much Ado Nothing? I have expressed my own personal disappointment with the Debian logos situation for a long time. The first time I can remember is on July 2004 [3]. [3] http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/07/msg00208.html AFAICT, the last time this issue was (briefly) discussed on debian-legal is on March 2010, in a 3-message thread [4] that left my questions unanswered, as has happened in other cases about the same topic... [4] http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2010/03/msg5.html I don't know whether the lack of warranty disclaimer should be considered as a serious problem or a minor issue, but I am not satisfied [5] with the current licensing of Debian logos (three of them are non-free, and only one is DFSG-free).

Debian Open Use Logo License (DOULL): warranty provided?
Hello, According to the DOULL there's no warranty provided for the use of the software referring to the logo WITHOUT Debian but there's nothing said for the logo WITH Debian. Does it assume I may complain to the Debian Project for the use of a derivative work from the logo WITH Debian in a SVG format with an embedded script which could exploit a software security hole and mess up my system?

Hello, I agree with your proposal to do nothing to protect the Debian trademark under the copyright law using the DOULL since the trademark is automatically protected under the trademark law and we should enforce it by this mean only.
