Discover Debian's hassle-free trademarks

The Debian Project has announced that Debian logos and marks may now be used freely for both non-commercial and commercial purposes, under the terms of the new trademark policy. "Stefano Zacchiroli, current Debian Project Leader and one of the main promoters of the new trademark policy, said "Software freedoms and trademarks are a difficult match. We all want to see well-known project names used to promote free software, but we cannot risk they will be abused to trick users into downloading proprietary spyware. With the help of SPI and SFLC, we have struck a good balance in our new trademark policy. Among other positive things, it allows all sorts of commercial use; we only recommend clearly informing customers about how much of the sale price will be donated to Debian."" (Thanks to Paul Wise)
