Oh! Great news. I tried the same with OpenSUSE logo at their mail list. I wanted to add it to the map but i had not success. They disagreed. I understand that well, this changes a little the situation. If im not wrong It's better because it become more correct if I use the official opensource logo. For me its not a problem i preffer the original ones. But, does this solves my dubt? Can it be a problem if I use the firefox logo in the map? The other point Francesco Poli focused is important too. The different contents of the map have different licenses. Some of then can be incompatible. Im interested in talked about that too. The opinion I am holding was told to me when I asked about this some time ago. The idea is that my SVG file is like a box with some contents. The License I put is in the box. In the texts and places for everthing, not on the contents. I have asked about this some times to different members of different proyects and i got answers from "no you cant use as free but u can use it we will not say you to stop"*1 for logos that arent in the map or are changed for things like then. Or answers like ok "I give you permision to use that license"*2 *1Thats with openbsd witch is not their logo. Same for Ubuntu because i got no answer. *2The new versión of Debian logo proposed in the debconf10 in spain or the enlightenment logo. The SVG file have inside in the XML the SVGs of the icons. They can be removed or moved to a new SVG file without alteration. And the license of that parts arent changed or afected by the license of the SVG container. In this point of view its like to use different programs with diferent licences in one Live- CD or in one Debian package. If the programs arent linked in the same binary I understand they can be toguether in the package. This is my point of view at the moment and when I have talked about this no one toldme to stop. If there is a problem for any proyect to use the logo in my didactical matherial ill remove it without problem. So now i have ask your opinions about this 2 dubts. The firefox logo, the official, can be used in the map without to make problems to Debian? The box idea is wrong? can the box way to see this be a problem to Debian?
