I have one more question regarding the "Debian Open Use Logo" [0]. Can we use and include a modified version on a GPL licensed web site provided we maintain the SPI copyright in addition to ours? Is the license these few lines under "Debian Open Use Logo License" title: --------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (c) 1999 Software in the Public Interest This logo or a modified version may be used by anyone to refer to the Debian project, but does not indicate endorsement by the project. --------------------------------------------------------- As a reminder I'd like to precise our web site would be a kind of debaday.debian.net in french, nothing commercial. Our concern is to avoid OPL and publish under GPL. Geoffroy [0] http://www.debian.org/logos/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
