[Ubuntu-SG] Speaker Request for NUS SFD, 19 Sept 2008 @ NUS

Tue Sep 2 06:52:44 UTC 2008

Hi All,

I am new to this mailing list.

1) . I was scanning through the mailing list, and read about the licensing
of the logo under *CC BY-NC-ND*, I think I feel it is too strict a license
if we put ND. That would mean even if we create other branding items based
on the same logo, we, ourselves will be violating our terms. (although we
wont be suing ourselves).
But ultimately the creators can always change the licensing terms, so it
probably is not a concern.

2). I am a grad student in NUS, and I would like to know who I should
contact for Ubuntu user group or linux and OSS in general?
