Very good. I am nobody in particular and live in the USA, where I use FreeBSD in my business and in my home.

Your e-mail brightened the day of many FreeBSD users; as your primary language is not English, there were a few grins about the following statements: "products of FreeBSD Linux" --- Linux and FreeBSD and distinct entities (e.g. $linux != $FreeBSD). Although they are both "Unix-like" operating systems, saying "FreeBSD Linux" is something of a contradiction in terms to FreeBSD users. "We want to use Slackware FreeBSD Linux Logos at this products" --- again, these are distinct entities, so you probably wanted to say: "We want to use Slackware, FreeBSD, and Linux logos on the products that we want to sell." > Is there a problem selling T-shirts,glasses,caps in Turkey by using your > company name and logo? There could be some problems, but no one at "questions@freebsd.org" has the power to answer you authoritatively. We do appreciate you asking, though; respect for the intellectual property of others is part of the FreeBSD tradition, and you might have noticed if you have read the BSD licenses and copyrights. In regard to your specific question, see: http://www.freebsd.org/art.html#USE for more information about the various logos, their owners and licensing. > Thanks... > Yours respectfully....
