[Foundation-l] Requests to use the foundations' trademarks/logos.

Fri Jul 14 11:38:24 UTC 2006

The USA Library of Congress has requested permission to include
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darfur_conflict> in their collection of
Internet material concerning the crisis in Darfur.

They wish to
1. archive the page at regular intervals, and
2. publish it on their publicly accessible web site.

They completely reproduce pages for archival purposes: capturing all
identifying site documentation, including URL, trademark, copyright
statement, ownership, publication date
<http://www.loc.gov/webcapture/faq.html>; so the GFDL requirements are
met, but what about the trademark/logo? Who needs to give permission
or refuse?

WikiMedia OTRS ticket: 2006071110012086
LC Reference: Darfur 88979 CD

The College Art Association is also asking to reuse the Wikipedia logo
in a news <http://www.collegeart.org/news/> article (OTRS
2006071110016751).
