Good luck. Cheers, Peter ===== Red Hat Enterprise Linux ======================== Subject: [redhat.com #10108047] Use of "Shadow Man" logo in GNOME Boxes From: "Pam Chestek via RT" To: zeenix@redhat.com Zeeshan, The use of the Shadowman logo without the Red Hat word mark included is approved for use in the manner shown in the screenshot you provided, i.e., as a graphical representation of an operating system choice available when using the "Boxes" software. This permission is granted for the Boxes project and also any Red Hat incorporation of the Boxes software into its commercial product. The use is approved conditioned on (1) also including the product name of the operating system, e.g., "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6" and (2) that an image file is not provided as part of the Boxes software but rather the logo is downloaded at runtime is is available only for a user that already has a Red Hat operating system available to him or her. Paula Weigel can help you with a copy of the logo. Pam ============ Ubuntu ====== From: michelle@canonical.com michelle@canonical.com Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2012 17:46:02 +0200 Subject: Your application to Ubuntu to Trademarks Hi Zeeshan, Thank you for contacting us and for your interest in and support of Ubuntu. ============ We have been working on a new GNOME application, Boxes[1] that (among other things) enables users to easily manage virtuat-machines. This also includes ability to detect operating-systems given an installation media and presenting an intuitive and impressive UI to user to easily install different operating systems with minimum or no interaction. Boxes makes use of a new library, libosinfo[2] that provides information about operating systems (which it internally keeps in an XML database). Can we get explicit permission to use the Ubuntu logo (as shown in the screen[3]) and distribut it as part of libosinfo or Boxes itself?

To keep the balance between the integrity of our trademarks and the ability to customise Ubuntu, we’ve tried to define a reasonable trademark policy that allows our Community to use Ubuntu and to promote the project. You can read the full policy at http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy. As your intent is to promote the Ubuntu brand and show your support of the software, we have no issue with you producing the product as you have requested. You can find our brand guidelines and downloadable images at http://design.ubuntu.com/. Thanks again for your support.

I am the founder and Project Coordinator of the FreeDOS Project. I am also a GNOME Foundation member, and have previously served on the GNOME Board of Directors. :-) I prefer that you use this logo: http://www.freedos.org/images/logos/fdfish-color-text.svg If text is not preferred, you may use this logo instead: http://www.freedos.org/images/logos/fdfish-color-plain.svg If you need a "landing page" URL to refer to these images, please use: http://www.freedos.org/images/ These official images and logos belong to the FreeDOS Project, but may be re-used under the Creative Commons, Attribution: you are free to copy, distribute, display, and perform the work; to make derivative works; to make commercial use of the work. You must attribute (such as in documentation) the work to the FreeDOS Project. I provided the images in SVG format, but obviously you can convert them ("make derivative works") to PNG or whatever icon image format you need, at whatever size. Also: I see that you included both FD12CD.iso and FD12LGCY.iso. Note that these are the same version, but they use slightly different boot methods. Most computers will use FD12CD.iso. Older computers may need the boot method used in FD12LGCY.iso. I run FreeDOS under QEMU and GNOME Boxes, and FD12CD.iso works fine. Here are two install videos that show this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o09FLGmbdp4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=On5eZdDGsCo If you need anything else from me, please let me know. ============
