If she has tried to _re_-create Lego's logo accurately, then ofcourse Lego has the final word on the usage of _their_ own logo on your model. > But this way or that way - if Lego does not want us to use my model we > won't. The best way is to ask. ..for the logo, agreed assuming it is Lego's, otherwise and for the model, disagreed. Informing them however, and with a measured dose of pee down their back inviting them to ignore you, gives you legal teeth, should they throw law sharks our way in 5 years, as "I did inform you and you guys okayed it!". And, I'm _quite_ sure they will prefer your girlfriend's logo to, "Uh-oh!", my sarcastic-logo-under-the-terms-of-the-GPL. ;o) > And I will do right that and let you know the result. > > Until then: enjoy it, it's fun! ..agreed. ;o) -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;o) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
