Hi FalterCon Organizers
We have received your request for permissions and held a vote with the
following conclusion:
1. Using the Haiku logo on promotional material
We see no problem in using the official Haiku name and logo on
promotional material. But we request that you hand in a copy (document,
photo, screenshot, ...) of the material so that we can review the exact
usage. We bind ourselfs to review the material in a time frame of no
longer than 8 hours to not hinder your effort too much.
2. Making a CD that contains a Haiku VMWare image
Several concerns were stated with regards to handing out CDs
publically. Our stance is that Haiku is not yet ready for public
consumption and should not proactivly be distributed. This is reflected
by the pre-alpha state of the project and should generally be
respected.
Therefore we'd like to request that you do not create such a media and
refrain from distributing CDs. Note that we cannot forbid the creation
of such an image due to our license. But you would have to follow the
distro guidelines accordingly and remove all trademarked names and
logos. As an alternative you could point people to the official Haiku
website so they can inform themselves and may download an image there.
Regards
Michael Lotz on behalf of the Haiku Admin Team
