Hi Alan,
Can you explain to me the relationship between the GPL, and the logo?
I mean, is the GPL (for image files) essentially equivalent to a CC
share-alike licence? What impact does distributing (say) a foot as a PNG
have in the actual representation of the shape of the foot, or its
representation as (say) an SVG? As far as I know, the GNOME foot has
never been released in a vector format under the GPL.
Let's say that it was a mistake, or that distributing the foot under the
GPL is incompatible with defending it as a trademark - what remedy do
you think we should consider?
Cheers,
Dave.

That's what it says. I believe that we are going to handle logo
modifications on a case-by-case basis. Please let us know if you want to
use a modified logo, and as long as it's a reasonable usage, there will
be no problem.
The logo has repeatedly been supplied as part of official GNOME
distribution products labelled as GPL and when this has been pointed out
the board has neither replied nor taken action to correct or indicate
this was a mistake.
