I think this is overly cautious. We're not 'distributing' their logos, we're using it as a symbol of their project which is what it is intended to be used for. > It might be > better to link to their official logo location (at their webpages) > which could, in turn, be used to automatically (i.e. when building the > website) detect when a children distribution is presumed dead since if > the logo URL goes down then it is most probable that the distribution > is no longer active. On the Debian census page for example, the stanzas about each derivative distro contains a logo. I know in the Maemo case we've linked to a 'static' location on Maemo's web site where their logo lives so we minimize traffic to Debian's servers, show Maemo we're linking to them, leave their branding untouched, and have a marker that their site is still active. I think this might be a good solution for the children page also, or at least, its my suggestion.
