My question is: can I freely modify and redistribute the Ubuntu LogoAs Corey pointed out, there are two *different* law's that govern this. One is copyright law. That is what talks about the art as "art", and determines ownership and the right to modify it etc. The other is trademark law. This covers this specific work, because it is a registered trademark in many (most) jurisdictions. In doing stuff with the Ubuntu logo specifically you need to make sure you meet the obligations under BOTH sets of law. In the case of copyright law, the work is under a Creative Commons licence. In the case of trademark law, you need a trademark licence from Canonical. We issue those all the time, which is why Corey was suggesting you mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "your name, contact details, and a short explanation of your proposed usage of the trademarks." Of course, the trademark stuff does not apply to artwork that is not in fact trademarked. Only the Ubuntu name and logo (and relevant *buntu equivalents) fall into that category. Mark |
