Some trustees won't remember this e-mail since it was posted quite some time ago. The topic however is valid again: What about communities and user groups who want to identify themselves with Gentoo? Can they use the Gentoo "g" logo in their own logo (with modifications)? The result back then was that it was allowed, yet this isn't reflected in t= he current name/logo guidelines. I'd like to put this in the guidelines as well, in the "Gentoo Community Projects" section, as an additional paragraph: """ The Gentoo Foundation, Inc. grant Gentoo community sites, projects and groups the right to use a clearly modified version of the Gentoo "g" logo a= s the logo that uniquely identifies themselves from the other communities.=20 """ Without this, we can't allow this use and must react against any occurrence (like gentoo.be, gentoofr.org, gentoo.de, gentoo.pl, ...). Mind you that some of these sites use an unmodified version which we shouldn't allow at all. Allowing modified logos should make a simple solution to all.
