[Bug 121217] New: openSUSE installer is using a picture similar to Apache OpenOffice logo

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121217

          Priority: P3
            Bug ID: 121217
          Assignee: ooo-issues@incubator.apache.org
           Summary: openSUSE installer is using a picture similar to
                    Apache OpenOffice logo
          Severity: normal
        Issue Type: DEFECT
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: rgb-es@apache.org
          Hardware: PC
            Status: CONFIRMED

Zip file with the problematic logo and the text used by openSUSE during install
slide show

I noticed a possible trademark issue with openSUSE(1) and the Apache OpenOffice
(incubating) logo.

The openSUSE 12.2 installer, when copying packages to the hard drive offer a
slide show to highlight the main characteristics for this Linux based
distribution. On the slide that talk about the office suite offered you can
find the potential trademark issue: openSUSE distribute LibO, but instead of
using the TDF logo you can see an orb with two gulls quite similar to Apache
OpenOffice (incubating) logo.

It is possible to see the picture looking at the content of openSUSE's DVD(2):
Under

suse/setup/slide

directory there are two folders, "pic" with several png files and "txt" with
the text for the slides on several languages. The problematic "pic" is
05_office.png 

The picture (together with the EN rtf file with the text for that slide) is
attached to the issue

I filled this report on their bugzilla system:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785389

They do not have a "trademark" or similar category, so I filled it as a bug.

This picture goes back as far as opensuse 10.2. See:

http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/discontinued/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/suse/setup/slide/pic/

So, it seems they've been using it a while (2006. This is the oldest install
set I could find online), not that it makes it right. Undoubtedly this was put
in place when OpenOffice was the supported office product. Perhaps contacting
opensuse about it and asking for a change is what's needed.

This openSUSE's issue is now marked as RESOLVED-FIXED, so it seems they changed
the picture for the upcoming release, so I'm changing the status for this issue
to resolved too.
