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.
Thanks for the reply. :)
Due to time constraints, we may not able to do what we had in mind.
But if we do use any of the Haiku artwork, we will then provide a
screenshot for review.
Who should we (specifically) address the request for review to? Please
advise.
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.
This contradicts your published guidelines which, by the way, we tried
to follow to the letter. Check it out for yourself:

Promotional Demos
If you want to help spread the word by creating a promotional demo CD or
VM image you may ask us on the Haiku mailing list for explicit
permission to use our trademarks and logos with your modified Haiku
version. Please provide a complete list of modifications.
Promotional releases must be compiled with GCC 2.95.3, they must show
the following disclaimer in read-only form after every boot-up, and CDs
must additionally be labeled with that disclaimer: "This promotional
demo is based on unstable pre-release Haiku code, and is intended for
developers as a technology preview. This is not the official Haiku
distribution (to be released at http://haiku-os.org)."
