If you mean that having a non-free logo for a Free OS is ridiculous, I somewhat agree with you. And I've been repeating it since 2004: http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/07/msg00208.html > > instead of filling bugs about that, we should rather fix the problem and > (re)license our own stuff in a way that it's actually freely usable. Well, I've tried hard for quite some time to get this issue solved once and for all. I've raised the issue on debian-legal several times, I got in touch with various DPLs, year after year, I talked with other people about it... The only step forward I witnessed was the re-licensing of the Debian Open Use Logo without "Debian": http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2008/11/msg00048.html It seems that the Debian Open Use Logo with "Debian" was not re-licensed in a DFSG-free manner because SPI's legal counsel raised some concerns that such a move could weaken the enforceability of trademark rights over the word "Debian": http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2008/11/msg00063.html So it seems that the Debian Open Use Logo with "Debian" will stay non-free, unless we manage to persuade the decision-makers at SPI that DFSG-freeness is more important than trademark rights... :-( The two Debian Official Use Logos were not touched, either. > > anyhow.. removed both the logo and the stylesheet in git and storing > them statically on live.debian.net instead. I must say I am quite puzzled. If I understand correctly, the following commit claims to fix the bug I reported: http://live.debian.net/gitweb?p=live-manual.git;a=commitdiff;h=30f57268ba82463e46f9627a687c6c0603918677 However, it does not delete (or even touch) the two troublesome files (html/image.png and html/stylesheet.css)... And it does not update the debian/copyright file, either.
