Hi Mo,

The above seems to conflict with my understanding of the trademark
guidelines from:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Trademark_guidelines

Specifically, there are a number of situations which do not require
permission to use Fedora®, the Fedora word design, the Infinity design
logo, Fedora Remix, and the Fedora Remix word design, either
separately or in combination.

Am I misunderstanding the intent of what's meant by request permission
for a particular usage of the logo?
I fear that if permission from [email protected] is required above and beyond
the levels established at the trademark guidelines, I've frequently
run afoul of that requirement. For instance, the logo that appears at:
http://www.southeastlinuxfest.org/sponsor/fedora  likely originated
from me (although derived from the svgs) in years past, and fwiu,
falls within the Trademark Guidelines no-permission-necessary section,
but I don't recall asking permission for it.

To more succinctly state my question: If I comply with the Trademark
guidelines (either through one of the no-permission-needed exceptions,
or with an explicit agreement) and I use the trademark(s) in
accordance with the usage guidelines wrt colors, spacing, etc., what
additional permission is needed?

Thanks,

--David
