Not sure if the Fedora Logo's are actually GPL ShakataGaNai Talk 19:37, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if the logo's are actually GPL because Fedora says "It is important to understand that, although Red Hat allows third parties to replicate its open source software under the GNU GPL, absent a written agreement or other express permission it does not allow third parties to use its trademarks. " - This would seem to imply that the Logo's are not released under GPL. --ShakataGaNai Talk 19:42, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've been bold and removed the "This deletion debate is now closed" marks, it is clearly not closed. On the one hand, ShakataGaNai has not actually deleted the images; on the other hand, I think it's inappropriate to make a deletion request and close it yourself after just 7 hours, unless the situation is absolutely clear. I don't think it is - to me, the trademark guidelines linked and quoted above say anything about the copyright status of the logo. The PNG file is based on a wallpaper which is claimed to be GPL; if that's valid, the PNG file is OK, and so is the SVG file (simpler version of the GPL logo + PD text). --Tokikake 11:25, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Uh oh, I think I took my boldness a bit too far. I accidentally alerted the Linux Wikiproject AND reuploaded it as a non-free image locally! ViperSnake151 11:41, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deleted as they should have been from the start. "itz linux so it gots to be GPL lol" is ridiculous. There is no evidence anywhere that these are under a free license. Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 17:01, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
