Hello Richard,

We have sent an email into Debian and kandath earlier today as I'm
unsure how to reply to Kandath's initial post on the matter, hopefully
the mailing list will can post our comments on our behalf.
Your message has indeed reached the list.
We take copyright very seriously at Twist Systems, so have thoroughly gone
through
all of the original inspirational files for this project to make sure that
no theft
has occurred. What is evident is our clients logo development was never
influenced
Fully or Partly by the Debian logo, this is the first time we have been
made aware
of it's existence.
This is not surprising. Others have also created similar logos in the past
completely independently.
at least one such independeantly developed logo was nearly identical to the
Debian logo. It happens.
We have all of the original files that were used to develop the logo's
creation if they
were ever needed to be called upon for clarification.
That is a good thing to have. In this case there is almostly certainly no
need to provide
any further evidence. The Logo is definately not an exact duplicate, and it
is being used
for a very different market. As long as your client does not try to enter
the computer or
computer software markets, there is no real chance of customer confusion. I
find it very
unlikely that Pure Organic Baby Food Limited will be switching from the baby
food market
to the computer or software markets in the near future, so there is no
issue.
