I think we should have an unrestricted-use logo at this time. For
compatibility with the Free Software licenses, the share-alike license
which Maitland recommended is appropriate. Anyone who doesn't want
share-alike can remove the logo.
If we ever get to the point that, like Debian and Mozilla, we wish to
have a logo that says "it comes from us", that would be a controlled-use
logo and would be trademarked, and the unrestricted-use one would
continue to be available for everyone else. But it doesn't seem that the
project is ready for that yet.
Certainly I am pursuing trademarks for Algoram, and perhaps David might
want to do so for his hardware project, when he figures out the final
name ("smartmic" is taken).
Thanks
