[OSGeo-UK] GIS logo use

[Jo Cook]

Hi Mike,

While I agree there's not much on the OSGeo website about it (actually
there are some trademark guidelines but they are hard to find-
https://www.osgeo.org/legal-information/ my gut feeling is that it's
not an appropriate use of the logo, unfortunately. That's mainly
because it sounds as if your internal GIS group will not be focusing
specifically on open source software, and certainly not just OSGeo,
and I think that would count as confusing the OSGeo brand.

What you could do, though, is email the address at the bottom of the
page I linked to and ask if they think it's OK?

All the best

Jo
