Open-source logo licensing

Our open-source project (CocoaPods) has a logo drawn by a commissioned designer (@maxsteenbergen). Basically, we want Max Steenbergen to retain his copyright over the logo, but give us (CocoaPods) an exclusive license to do what we want, as described below.

We want our users to:

  1. BE ABLE to use the logo AS-IS for CocoaPods promotional purposes. Some examples are:
  • In a blog post about (amongst others) CocoaPods.
  • On the website of a commercial continuos-integration platform, to indicate they support CocoaPods projects.
  • Sell (i.e. commercial) stickers/t-shirts/mugs etc with the logo on it.
