Hi, there is a discussion in the German Wikipedia whether the Debian Open Use Logo may be subjected to the GFDL. The German Wikipedia does not accept any content not licensed as public domain or GFDL (e. g. no "fair use" because this is an American law only). > This logo or a modified version may be used by anyone to refer to the > Debian project, but does not indicate endorsement by the project As far as I understand this sentence, the logo may not be used for other things and is not "free" according to the GFDL. The "possible copyright violation notice", however, was removed by the uploader today.

As far as I understand this sentence, the logo may not be used for other
things and is not "free" according to the GFDL. The "possible copyright
violation notice", however, was removed by the uploader today.
