> A license "for us" is not enough. It has to be compatible with the ASFs requirements for licenses (I inlined the white-listed licenses above)
Good point. An Apache Licensed projects allows all kinds of usage downstream, including commercial. So, we can't have a logo that only "NetBeans" can use, because then we basically cannot release that.
From reading https://www.npmjs.com/policies/trademark
> The npm Logo signifies us, or a special relationship with us, and you should use it only with our permission. Since the goal is to avoid confusion about you being us, or your relationship with us, context counts. We will consider requests on a case-by-case basis.
it seems clear that we cannot include the logo in NetBeans as each NetBeans derivative will have to get specific permission for the npm logo.
Since I don't believe npm inc will grant us such a generous permission given the terms in their trademark policy we can probably reject this PR.
I'm also thinking if we really need the npm logo there. We could differentiate the file from a plain .js file with some hint. Even for Maven projects, we don't have a specific icon for pom.xml, we have the normal XML icon and we just group the pom.xml file under the "Project Files" subtree.
