Vote: Inkscape logo useage on Tav's tutorial
Hey guys,
I'm guessing you probably already saw my e-mail to -devel, but I wanted to have something here a little more officially in the record.
All those in favor of allowing Tavmjong Bah to use the Inkscape logo in the book he is publishing with Prentice Hall please say "Aye".
Me: "Aye"

One thing I'm curious about is who actually holds the copyright on the logo? We haven't yet placed any assets into ownership of the Inkscape Foundation, so while I like the way the voting is going, I don't think it would actually give legal permission for use of the logo.
Of course, this opens up a larger issue (which I think mental posed at the outset), of transferring assets like this into Inkscape Foundation ownership.
What I think we can do legally is provide a 'vote of confidence' for the owner(s) of the logo to give permission for its use. But I don't think our vote alone would be sufficient for permission.

I agree. But, I think that it shows that we don't oppose it's usage. Which, until we figure out who exactly can do what, is all we can do. I think it's useful to say "the Inkscape project thinks it's okay" without saying "the legal owner gives permission."
