Are you sure it's not simply trademarked? It's not infringing to use a trademark as long as you're using it to refer to the real McCoy and not implying the trademark holder endorses your product. Third party addons often use trademarks in their advertising: "This baldness-resistant tire works with all 1997-and-later GM car and light truck models", etc. As long as they don't claim (and the trademark isn't itself) some sort of seal of approval from GM, this is legal. (Of course it's also legal if they actually *have* GM's seal of approval.) I would not think that using the Clojure logo to accurately identify that something is associated in some way, shape, or form with Clojure (while avoiding making any false claims of being officially endorsed by Rich Hickey) would be trademark infringement. If it's actually *copyrighted* you may want to look into the copyright license. One hopes it's a fairly liberal CC license or even an outright copyleft but you never know. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
