<pre wrap="">As has been discussed on fedora-devel, I have an issue with the zocial
font package. The question is if this font because of it's use of
trademarked logos can't be used in Fedora.
Any help out there?

<pre wrap="">This seems like a terrible idea. I'd strongly recommend that you not
package it.

<pre wrap="">OK, last nail in the coffin. I will not package openerp7, this is just
too much hazzle.
Since I will send this message upstream, could you possibly expand a
little on the motivation?

<pre wrap="">Unless they have explicit permission to use the trademarks in their font
(which I can't imagine they have), the font is clearly infringing upon
the trademarks because it is placing those logos in contexts that imply
that there is a relationship between the owners of those trademarks and
any place the font is in use.
That's a trivial lawsuit waiting to happen.
