I think you miss the point, the think is what about if SUSE don't have permission but the package is market like gpl by the developer the own the logo. And I don't have the complete list of suse where the use of third party logos are allowed to be used by SUSE, but any way just take a look to the icons, have some interesting logos: Staroffice American Online Debian Quiktime Real Player ( in OSS too ) Microsoft ( see in Mime ones ) You are saying that SUSE have in fact permision to use ALL this logos in OSS a retail vertion ?? even the Microsft one ?? or used because the crystal package have a GPL kind of licence ( actually is lgpl ) ?? But again that's not point, because that's logos are not owned by Everaldo. -- Marcel Mourguiart
