copyright/trademark[edit]
From Wikipedia:Logos#Trademark_concerns:
U.S. law protects the right of non-owners to use trademarks for purposes of criticism and commentary. First Amendment considerations override any limits on these expressive, noncommercial use of trademarks. "The Constitution is not offended when the [Maine] antidilution statute is applied to prevent a defendant from using a trademark without permission in order to merchandise dissimilar products or services. ... The Constitution does not, however, permit the range of the antidilution statute to encompass the unauthorized use of a trademark in a noncommercial setting such as an editorial or artistic context." (emphasis added) L.L. Bean, Inc. v. Drake Pubs., Inc., 811 F.2d 26, 31, 33 (1st Cir. 1987.)
The image is at least trademarked and is thus not completely free for use in all projects -- it should not be moved to the Commons. Banaticus (talk) 06:23, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- Commons only cares about freedom of copyright, not freedom of trademark. They have the same {{Trademark}} we do. User:MBisanz User talk:MBisanz 21:18, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
