The OVS logo is in the OVS source tree, as Documentation/_static/logo.png, and so, as with almost everything in the OVS source tree, the Apache 2.0 license applies to it. I believe that some kind of trademark has been applied for, for the OVS name and logo. I don't know whether it has been granted. I don't know what license will be used. However, I doubt that use of the logo within Wikipedia would be likely to cause confusion in the minds of the public, and so to the extent that I understand trademarks, I suspect that no permission would be needed for that use anyhow. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-discuss
