Hi-- This is a request we got last week to basically use an altered version of a CD cover as a book cover.
I asked Steve (catfish) some questions about this, among them what version of OpenOffice was the book for etc. You can see his responses in the original thread. The only thing that pops out at me is the lack of the "TM" symbol near the bottom of OpenOffice.org in his version, but the CD doesn't include this either. Something else for us to deal with at some point. My opinion is that with the inclusion of the "TM", we should give him the OK on this. Thoughts? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Catfish Publishing <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Jun 11, 2012 at 8:15 PM Subject: RE: permission to use the Open Office Org logo To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected], [email protected] Thank you, Shane. PPMC, do you need more detail than the attached mock-up? I'd like to use this as the cover design to provide an affordable print version of Getting Started with OpenOffice.org 3 worldwide on Amazon.
