I think we're still in the position where the GNOME brand isn't really strong enough to justify that strict a stance; I agree with Luis. Where I would agree with Quim - allowing people to do whatever they like with it is not necessarily great; we should probably point out some preferred customisations based on the GNOME brand. I would extend that out beyond just websites: it continues to pain me that within most distributions (Debian aside?) the GNOME logo isn't on the desktop. On my current desktop, I have the Ubuntu logo and "About Ubuntu" in the System menu; as a non-technical user I would have no idea what "GNOME" referred to, even though I have an "About GNOME" too. It would be great to have a brand which could be customised by various stakeholders, yet still be recognisably GNOME.
