Re: Pidgin policy on logo usage.
support@pidgin.im: FYI Jared's email from earlier today didn't seem to make it to this list, but feel free to reply to this thread with any thoughts/questions. Hi Jared! From what I can tell from your image, yes, that looks fine, feel free to go ahead and print. For a more detailed response, my original response still applies. See the we don't have a formal policy paragraph at https://pidgin.im/pipermail/support/2013-April/026581.html Regarding donations to Instant Messaging Freedom, Inc., for small denominations feel free to use the PayPal donate button at https://imfreedom.org/donate.php . If the shirt becomes popular and you'll be potentially donating a large denomination (say, greater than 100 USD), it might be nice if you could pay us for large batches via a standard US check mailed to our treasurer (Ethan Blanton), just so we can avoid the small Pay Pal transaction percentage. Feel free to email us off-list if you have high volume and you're in favor of the extra hassle (vice.presid...@imfreedom.org and treasu...@imfreedom.org) Thanks, and good luck! --Mark On Mon, Jan 5, 2015 at 8:58 AM, Jared Contrascere jared.n.contrasc...@libretees.com wrote: Good morning!

Re: Pidgin policy on logo usage.
Thanks for clarifying and for the additional information. I appreciate it! I'll post some test-run shirts shortly, and as of now, the website is being worked on. It looks like it will launch with LibreOffice, Inkscape, and Pidgin shirts at some point this year. All the best!

We don't have a formal policy for this. Our usual response is: It's totally fine for you to use the Pidgin name and logo to represent us and our project. If you want to make a shirt with a list of open source mascots, it's fine for you to include us and use our images. If you want to write a news story about us, feel free to use our stylized Pidgin text and the pigeon mascot. It is not ok to use the branding to represent something else. For example, it would not be ok to start a car company and use an image of our pigeon as your company logo. It would not be ok to create a confusingly similar piece of software and name it Pidgin. I'm creating t-shirts to promote and fundraise for open source projects, and I'd like to do this for Pidgin if it's permissible. Sounds great to me! Good luck! In addition to the licensing, I'd like to know if Pidgin accepts donations, and if so, how they can be delivered. Review of the support tickets regarding this issue did not seem to provide an answer. We don't really need money, but if you feel a need to donate you can give money to Instant Messaging Freedom, Inc. It's a USA registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that assists us with this like this.

Pidgin policy on logo usage.
Good evening, I couldn't find any information regarding trademark/logo licensing, and I was wondering if the Pidgin logo was available for use and under what conditions. I'm creating t-shirts to promote and fundraise for open source projects, and I'd like to do this for Pidgin if it's permissible. In addition to the licensing, I'd like to know if Pidgin accepts donations, and if so, how they can be delivered. Review of the support tickets regarding this issue did not seem to provide an answer.
