9 My own small-amount-of-change: I don't mind commercial folks using our
10 logo, but I think they should license it. Now that doesn't necessarily

12 sought, and the time needs to be limited (with, of course, the option to
13 renew the license). I think we need that much to maintain the Gentoo
14 trademark(s), although that question should really be run by the legal
15 folks for confirmation.
