>From the OLPC side, I think this is all well clear. Though my question was rather for other distributors of Sugar, in case they wanted to put their brand in Sugar. I can see how Debian would like for example to place their logo and distro version in the control panel, and I personally think that if all distros could agree, would be nice to do so in a way that involves just placing some icons and perhaps text files somewhere on disk. This fits in a more general case of distributor-specific stuff, like school server specifics, XO-specific power management, etc. I expected we'd have some discussion about how best to tailor Sugar to different environments, but seems that it got side tracked ;) Regards, Tomeu > On 12/6/08 8:34 AM, "Tomeu Vizoso" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> From http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Eben#Tasks: >> >> Add Fedora logo to Sugar >> We've agreed to include the Fedora logo in our Sugar distributions. >> (Is this an OLPC agreement, or something SugarLabs should be doing in >> general?)
