[Tinyos-alliance] Fwd: Alliance permission to use a modified logo

[Matt Welsh]

Actually, "branding" of the TinyOS alliance may become important down  
the line for legal reasons - if you do not protect your brand you  
stand a chance to lose it. TinyOS Alliance might want to consider  
getting an official logo and having it trademarked. That way we  
prevent, say, someone from selling CDs, books, tshirts, mugs, or  
fanny-packs with the TinyOS logo on them that are not officially  
endorsed.
