I think Sv.Wp is doing the right thing but with the wrong justification. And I was trying to say I don't think downstream re-users should infer the appearance of the Volvo logo on Sv.Wp that they have the right to reuse it as a public-domain image.

I suspect Volvo's IP attorneys have a different opinion about whether the Volvo logo is public-domain than perhaps you do. As I see the energy poured into the question of whether the Wikipedia should use copyrighted and trademarked logos (which they are already licensed to use!), I cannot help but agree with the sentiment expressed earlier that the Swedish Wikipedians have come up with a solution in search of a problem. --Mike _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
