Neat! Well, I didn't have individual logo's to hand out before. We sorta do now: http://memcached.org/images/memcached_link_125.png http://memcached.org/images/memcached_link_100.png I also have a larger one if necessary. >From your usage it sounds okay, so count this as approval under the terms you've stated, thank you for asking! The big issue we had have been companies listing product "compatibility" along with the logo, or issuing PR about something something memcached something. Users would be confused and think that the company was a contributor or owner. Company would say that they never explicitly said that nor hinted at it; however while a business might be used to clever legal maneuvering or wording to get their way, I do not give a flying fuck. Here are the fucks I do not give about: - "we did not explicitly say we just used the logo because etc" - "we did not say but we stood in your booth with nametags stating our company" - "that's heresay" So if you wish to use these logos, please ask permission and try to not be full of shit! I watch twitter and I talk to users and it confuses the hell out of them. have fun, -Dormando
