Hi Graham & devs, 

We intend to license under the CC-BY-ND Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivatives license. That means that via the license you can freely print on shirts, stickers, etc., but you can’t modify the logos (e.g. add an ecosystem company’s logo into the mascot). We’ll send out additional info once that licensing is complete, and thank you for the question!

Almost all logos are distributed now, with a few tweaks needed on text (which we’ll take care of shortly). You’re welcome to use these logos now, at the PTG, and beyond. Ironic and TripleO have both proposed solutions/compromises and we TRULY appreciate this - we’re feeding these back to our illustrators so that they can produce a version for your review/approval. 

Thanks for your extreme patience as I’m fielding quite a lot of questions! I’ll do my best to reply to each ML thread promptly.
