Hi -

I note that on the Browserstack Open Source page [1] there are a list of logos. 
We are not agreeing to allow any Apache or Royale logo to appear anywhere in 
their site. If they wish to do so then we will need to point them to the 
appropriate Foundation committee - likely starting with trademarks, but it 
would depend. I’m only bringing this up to remind the team of the limits.

Thanks Justin for the pointer to the rules. At the Foundation level you are 
correct that the rule is nofollow for lower levels of sponsorship.

I concur with Harbs on next steps.

Regards,
Dave
