Re: Green light on logo announcement

 

IDK, really. The only reason we still depend on them is the fact that we
are called GNOME. Any way, I'm sure there won't be any problem. In the
worst case scenario, I'd wait a couple of weeks before UI freeze. If they
don't reply before I guess we should still follow our plan. As you said,
there's just no reason not be "allowed" to use our new brand.

In all fairness, we used the original logo way before we got the green
light from them. We shall do the same if necessary.

Cheers,
Alfredo
