Can it be used on CD-ROMs of non-free or non-US?
I don't think we should allow it on those since they are not part of Debian.. However, if they included the contents of the main dist, I suppose they should be able to use it in advertising, just as long as Debian main is clearly not the same CD as non-free/non-us. It could be used elsewhere, just like not on the CD/jewel cases because they aren't Debian. The CDs which are Debian (main, mail+contrib, source for main and or contrib) are currently considered "Debian" so CDs which only have those things on them should be logo-able. If Debian is included in that form and there's a box or something, the box could have the logo, just as long as the Debian is distinguishable from the non-Debian. > Joseph> * Logo may be used on a web page for commercial > Joseph> advertising purposes as long as Debian GNU/Linux makes up > Joseph> a significant part of what is being sold and that part is > Joseph> distinct from anything bundled with it.

Hey, I didn't do TOO bad for about 3 minutes typing while offline and unable to look at the current license, no?
