Yuri, I truly hope you're right! If that's the case I too think the Protocol logo should be kept for Apache Wave.
Soren, as you are a Googler, can you clarify this point? We all understand Google's copyright on the Google Wave's logo : http://code.google.com/apis/wave/images/wavelogo.png But what about the blue protocol logo (the one with arrow and circles) featured here : http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2010/11/adding-robots-to-wave-in-box.html And what about the "shades of blue" simpler one displayed here : http://code.google.com/p/wave-protocol/ Could this last one be covered by the Apache License 2.0 stated in the Project informations? Note that this logo is already in use on WiaB demo servers ( http://demo.wave-in-a-box.org/static/logo.png and http://waveinabox.net:9898/static/logo.png ) Thanks in advance. Jeremy Naegel wave-france.blogspot.com PS: it may be irrelevant now but here are the two examples (looking as close as possible to the Wave federation logo but based on a pure harmonic wave signal) I talked about earlier : http://i.imgur.com/KXVKa.png and http://i.imgur.com/mLnaN.png 2011/3/21 Michael MacFadden <michael.macfad...@gmail.com> > Yuri, > > I agree that the current logo's if they are opens source, should at least > be in the running. > > ~Michael > > On Mar 21, 2011, at 1:05 PM, Yuri Z wrote: > > > The Wave Protocol group and Fed One were open source form the beginning, > and > > I personally think so is the Wave Protocol logo.
