Hi,
does anyone know the license for the openSUSE logos in https://github.com/openSUSE/distribution-logos ?
Unfortunately, there is nothing mentioned, nor a license file
Hi,
if I'm not wrong, openSUSE is a trademark of SUSE
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Trademark_guidelines
So this applies^^ and this I guess:
https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Artwork_brand
Best regards,

You're not wrong, most of openSUSE's logos are trademarks and the trademark guidelines apply governing their use. However, AFAIK only the following trademarks are formally registered by SUSE and considered "openSUSE Marks" under that policy: openSUSE (the text) openSUSE (the logo) Kubic (the text) Axel's question was regarding the distribution logos, which include the logos for Leap, Tumbleweed, MicroOS and Kubic. Therefore I think Axel's question intends to suggest that he feels the Board doesn't feel responsible for the Leap, Tumbleweed, Kubic and MicroOS terms in the same way they clearly are for the openSUSE & Kubic text and the openSUSE logo. Which is a little weird for me. I think our trademark policy makes sense, and I'd suggest we treat all openSUSE distributions under that policy. Even if the marks haven't been registered by SUSE (yet?), proactively working as if they are registered trademarks should keep that door open if the Project decides to go down that road in teh future.
