[CentOS-devel] [CentOS-docs] Authorization to use CentOS logo in GNOME Boxes

[Karsten Wade]

Thanks Rich for drawing this forward, I had missed it.  (I generally
handle all the trademark usage queries.)

The key reference is this one, the trademark guidelines:

https://www.centos.org/legal/trademarks/

That document should give the GNOME project all of the authorization and
guidelines on how to use and not use the CentOS marks.

Fabiano -- if you have any further questions, you may also direct them
to centos-tm at centos.org .

Rich -- it looks as if we need to update or clarify on the wiki around
the appearance of the (R) in the marks.  There is a link in a section
there called "Usage Restrictions"[1] but it isn't terribly visible.  I
just added a new short paragraph at the top of the page referring to the
guidelines.

Best regards,

- Karsten
