Many thanks for the really fast and helpful reply Samuli. Based on what you said I've now added an "About" screen to the application that looks like this: http://www.flypig.co.uk/images/screenshots/openvpn-rig/about01.jpg It's great that OpenVPN Technologies Inc. are so open over their trademarks. I can understand why some organisations want to be protective, but being able to use the logos like this makes a huge difference to people like me.
