What is the licensing situation for the OSM icon? Is the logo (Map with a magnifing glass glas) is copyrighted? asked 04 Apr '11, 19:34  szotp edited 20 Aug '13, 12:04  aseerel4c26 ♦ |
One Answer:
The logo is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0. See e.g. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Openstreetmap_logo.svg Note, however, that the OpenStreetMap Foundation owns the Trademarks for the OpenStreetMap Logo in the UK. An application for European trademark for the name 'OpenStreetMap' is also in hand ( https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Trademark ). This means there are additional restrictions on using the logo, at least for commercial use (and maybe even for non-commercial use). answered 04 Apr '11, 20:12  sleske |
