I would say if the MeeGo project has a problem with you using the trademark, you have no choice. That means just following the terms of the license, which describes what credit the original author expects. You don't credit every project that produces code in the name or tag-line of a Linux distribution. > So to ensure that I and anyone else don't get mauled by any legal > hyenas, could we get a list of packages that would contravene the > branding/trademark/whatever so that re-spinners like myself, Peter and > other can take appropriate action and remove any contravening artwork? > > The only package that explicitly mentions anything about Trademark or > has a restricted license is meego-icon-theme, but I have heard mention > in passing that mutter-meego and all the meego-*-panel apps also contain > artwork that may anger the hyenas. That's someone else's department... if it's free software, I'd be happy to follow the license. There's a reason why Firefox packaged artwork separately from the GPL-packaged browser.
