How should I #license artwork/logo for a #foss project?

I think I now understand trademark and copyright are entirely different things.

Given that my context is a #foss library, I don't think trademark makes much sense.

To make sure no funny business happens with the logo, I guess I could opt CC BY-NC-ND? (creativecommons.org/licenses/b)

It's not trademark but we're talking about a simple library. This should at least prevent the logo from being used improperly…

@yarmo I guess we have to be careful that the NC bit makes the license incompatible with open source licenses which prohibits discrimination of the field of use.

@zundan well, theoretically speaking, wouldn't this mean if people wanted to use the library in a commercial application, they could still do so but just not use the logo…?

(The library is AGPL btw)

@yarmo theoretically yes, but, as a former package maintainer for a small Linux distribution, I can imagine the mixture of NC licensed material would make downstream distributions much harder.

@zundan thanks for your input!

Ok, maybe skip NC. BY is already nice to have.

Also not sure how I feel about ND yet
