I use inkscape create some creative works. Is it allowed to put some banner like "powered by inkscape" on them? ( like the logo, http://inkscape.org/images/inkscape_button.svg ) After some search, I haven't found pages that clear say how I can use logo, and where the official location it is. Would anyone like to answer me here or give me some hint to get the answer?

Why No Derivatives? Three words: nude Minnie Mouse. There is no telling what strange things people will come up with if you allow them free play with your public image. It's best to limit them from the start.

You should always consult a lawyer for legal matters. What follows does not constitute legal advice in any manner; it is for entertainment purposes only. You can only apply a license to a work for which: * You are the original creator. * You gain the right to apply a license to the work from a legal entity, a person or a corporation, who has the right to grant you the right to apply a license. In other words, if you include somebody else's work in yours, their license applies to their work, your license applies only to yours. -- Just my 0.00000002 million dollars worth, Shawn Programming is as much about organization and communication as it is about coding.
