im not quite very familiar with trademarks or registered trademarks, though they should have just added a disclaimer like this one that i found from touchsolution's site:

"Copyright 2002 Red Hat, Inc. All rights reserved. "Red Hat", the "Shadow Man" logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of Red Hat, Inc. in the US and other countries. Red Hat is a registered trademark of Red Hat, Inc."

I hope that institute doesn't get in any trouble with Red Hat just because of some marketing strategy that they did, lack of knowledge about copyrights?

hmmmm, this reminds me of some incident posted by someone weeks ago regarding RH AS licensing issues from touch solutions. *sigh* sometimes it's really the marketing part that does the tainting.

btw, thanks for the info sir moen.

Trademark law and copyright law are totally different things.

Copyright is a limited monopoly over literal duplication of a particular

aok. your good.

By the way, if you want to use TUX (the linux penguin) I saw the authors
website(http://www.isc.tamu.edu/~lewing/linux/), theres a statement
regarding the use of the logo, it say "Permission to use and/or modify
this image is granted provided you acknowledge me [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
The GIMP if someone asks."
