All,

Looking at <http://files.opensuse.org/opensuse/en/5/51/OpenSUSE_Trademark_Guidelines.p df>

I don't see addressed a situation were a opensuse community member creates docs like:

http://files.opensuse.org/opensuse/en/1/17/Zypper-cheat-sheet-1.pdf http://files.opensuse.org/opensuse/en/3/30/Zypper-cheat-sheet-2.pdf

which are referenced in:

http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper/Usage/11.1 Under Quick Reference

Am I missing it? I don't see any issue here. As far as I can see he's using the original openSUSE logo in a relationship with some docu on zypper which is clearly part of openSUSE. So I'd count it as Fair Use which are described in the Trademark Guide lines [1] ..We acknowledge and support your right to make "fair use" of the openSUSE Marks, and do not mean to suggest with these Guidelines that our permission is required in such cases...

Best M [1] http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Trademark_Guidelines_v2#Fair_Use

If not, could the guideline have a section added to cover community created docs of this kind. I personally think it is a great doc and would like to see more of the same.
