Note: The bug "duplicate"d tracks the original submitters requests of upstream
to make fedora specific changes to the upstream spec. Terje has since picked up
this package, and the initial discussions and changes to the package are
documented in the duplicated bug.

Re: SPEC: http://terjeros.fedorapeople.org/lshw/lshw.spec
There is something a bit weird about the versions: the upstream Changelog log is
calling this B.02.12, while the src and this spec, web site call it B.02.11.01.
That's probably just an oversight.

"If the package is legally risky for whatever reason (known patent or copyright
infringement, trademark concerns) close the bug WONTFIX and leave an appropriate
comment (i.e. we don't ship mp3, so stop submitting it). Set the fedora-review
flag to -, and have the review ticket block FE-Legal."

For an external trademarked logo, I believe you would have to get specific
permission to use the logo in other settings/software. I don't think it would
matter whether the image is an original from the owner of the trademark or
recreated by an upstream project, it would still be content that can't be included.

I'll ask on f-devel-l whether such logos would be permissible content.

Lionel: if we aren't able to use other entities' trademarks, can lshw-gui
operate if it can't find these images ? Would you be prepared to provide
alternative non-trademarked content - eg an artistic rendering like the images
of Apple boxes ?

I notice the the installed location is now /sbin. Is it the intent that gtk-lshw
not be called through consolehelper, but lshw-gui is ? {I haven't experience in
this area}.
