   I don't see trademark as not relevant here. Everything that was said 
regarding trademark here is also true for Google for Chrome, Microsoft for IE, 
Mozilla for Firefox, Oracle for Java and so on.
   Apache legal requires us to comply with the licenses and that is the case 
for the file I mentioned in my previous comment. Independend from that 
trademark laws may or may not apply. For our use case (icon for a file that is 
primarily used by the programm that uses that logo), I consider it nominative 
use, which you can't prevent as the trademark holder.
   
   If we really want to discuss the pro/con of using the NPM logo to represent 
package.json, I suggest to shift discussion to the mailinglist. My review 
assumes, that we aggree, that using the logo is a good idea to make the file 
easily recognizable.
   
   Edit: Maven pom.xml files are indeed marked with the maven icon (sinse 
NB10), that was @Chris2011 first change (see here: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1496)
