Hi,

Sorry for my english, i'm a Brasilian guy and learn english with myself,
reading man pages and IT articles.

Today i will make my first tattoo, and i will make the Debian Swirl Logo ...


Debian changes my life, for many ways, and now i will make this change for
ever on my left arm ... =]

But i have a question, sombebody help's me ? The Debian site is confusing me
a litle bit ...

The Debian logo with de "Debian" name is under copyright, but only the swirl
is like Debian, free ... is it ?

Still i can use the complete Debian Logo on my tattoo, the swirl with the
Debian name ?

If the logo is copyrighted and have restricted use, somebody of debian
project can give me a permission ?

I will make a tatoo in a few hours, hope somebody can answer e-mail in time.

I wanna make a tattoo completely correct.

So much thank's.

Regards.

I think, if you are not a DD you can't use the black bottle, that is
all.

IN tha case, worry about the tattoo artist.
Nobody in the Debian Community will complain about a well done tattoo.
BTW, there was some preliminary discussion about changing the logo,
because swirl is too much simple (so difficult to enforce, a lot of
independent generated logo like our swirl.

OTOH the actual logo is so very well recognized, that an eventual future
logo should still include actual swirl, so you need eventually to upgrade
the tattoo in a bigger tattoo ;-)

It's something I never thought would happen. Nothing wrong with it but
when the original poster emailled me I was surprised.

Thanks for the links, I see what you mean. They both look good.
