Hi all,
There is maybe a way for debian to keep the name and use *a* logo.
Note
that it is not *the* logo, since firefox logo is non-free, but the
nuvola icon theme has an LGPL version of the firefox logo, made from
scratch, and pretty similar to the original one. If we can use
this logo
with the firefox name, the only remaining issue is patch validation.
Mike, would it be possible to use this nuvola logo[1] instead of the
official one ?
This seems kind of questionable. It's basically
indistinguishable. Is this sort of thing really permissible under
copyright?
(IANAL, obviously)
Almost certainly not ok. I can recreate GM's logo in Photoshop, but
that doesn't mean I can then allow others to create derivative works
without having issues with copyright/trademark law.
It's a legal minefield at best, an outright violation at worst, so I
think that's probably not an option you want to take...
