Derby and ASF Logo

Hi,
I was wondering if it is "okay" to use Derby and ASF logo on my
personal web/blog, t-shirts, caps etc?
I'm a Google summer of code participant and worked on adding JMX to
derby as part of my project.

Best Regards,
Sanket Sharma

Hi, Sanket,

It's fine for you to use the logo in the way you described to the PRC.

(For those wondering ... the PRC typically looks at how the logo will be
used and runs the request by the project's PMC.)

Hi, Sanket,

Derby is part of the DB PMC.  I'll touch base with the PRC so that their
notice makes it to the right place.

thanks,

Hi,

I checked with prc at apache org. They say they dont have any issues
if the Derby PRC has no issues.
Do we have a Derby PRC as well?

Sanket Sharma

Hi, Sanket,

First ask for permission from the Apache Public Relations Committee (prc
<at> apache.org). http://db.apache.org/derby/logo.html has this wording:

   If you would like to use the Derby logo outside Apache -- for
example, for a t-shirt, poster, flier, or whatever -- first obtain
permission from the ASF Public Relations Committee by emailing your
request to prc <AT> apache.org.

I receive frequent questions about this. Software under the Apache
License is freely reusable and redistributable, but the Apache License
does not grant permission to reuse trademarks -- see section 6 of [1].
There was a recent discussion on legal-discuss about using subproject
logos [2].
