Re: [dita-lightweight-dita] Who owns the DITA bird logo?

Thanks Tom M. and Chet. I sent a direct message to the @OASISopen
    Twitter account and got this answer, for the record:

    

    Me:

    Does a non-profit group (Write the Docs) need to get permission to
    use the DITA "finch" logo to promote a talk I am giving to them on
    Lightweight DITA? Non commercial.

    

    @OASISopen (I'm assuming it's Carol):

    We're happy for you to use the finch in reference to DITA...just so
    long as it's not being used as an endorsement or as part of a
    company or product logo.

It's definitely owned by OASIS, for some definition
                of "owned". You should ask them.

              

              

              
For the record, here's a message I had from Carol
                Geyer (OASIS) about three years ago when I wanted to use
                the finch logo in an ad relating to XMetaL:

              

              

              
If it's not too late, can you send me a mock-up of
                  your ad? We are happy to grant permission to use the
                  logo if it's clearly referencing the standard. We just
                  don't want people using it as part of their own
                  product logos, etc.

                      Can they use this logo or does it require OASIS
                      approval? I'm getting conflicting info on this.
