OK so I read a bit more about trademark law and it definitely seems to
be a killjoy, even in this case where we are literally representing
the operating systems in question.
So let me put the question a bit differently: what logos can we use?
Tux for example would seem to be fine to represent Linux guests.
The Fedora logo, surely this is a case where we can use it.
In cases such as the FreeBSD logo and others, if we (ie. virt-manager
project) went through the steps to request permission[1] could we then
include it?
