Hello Efstathios,

It would help if we knew your specific questions about the
guidelines.  What part did you not understand?

The guidelines in general allow publishers to use the Fedora logo in
their publication, as long as they follow the guidelines.  Was there a
guideline that didn't make sense to you?

Our artwork is licensed Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC
BY-SA) 3.0, so you may use it and remix it.  However, you must give
proper attribution and follow the other rules for that licensing
properly.

I'm happy to answer more of your questions about the guidelines, and
look forward to hearing back from you.
