That's about the name/logo usage guidelines which are connected to the |
| 22 |
trademark. |

|
| 24 |
However, apart from the trademark, the logo is distributed under the |
| 25 |
CC-BY-SA-2.5 license [1] (or CC-Sampling-Plus-1.0 for the Blender |
| 26 |
version, which is way more restrictive). So to comply with the |
| 27 |
requirements of CC-BY-SA, they must also provide proper attribution |
| 28 |
and license information. |
