What do you mean "Copy left"?

Note that the text of the icon is clearly the same as the logo on the page you're reading right now (or at the very least a very close derivative of it). Not sure though about the status of our logo. Probably the copyright would belong to Nokia (?).

Copyright....
it's a play on words

...and that was reinob's point. Is there really no copyright?

Well. Everything has automatically a copyright (and not a copyleft, which usually refers to GPL-like constructs). The question is who owns it :)

I think that Maemo trademark was transferred by Nokia to HiFo, and by HiFo to MCeV with Nokia's acknowledgement. I guess that MCeV has already renewed the trademark (in EU at least) for the next 10 years? Not sure what else is needed...

Thank you. Best wishes.

Are "Maemo trademark" and "Maemo logo copyright" the same thing?

EDIT: This is a genuine question. IANAL and do not fully understand how these things work.

TMview (https://www.tmdn.org/tmview/welcome) to the rescue!

The word "maemo" is trademarked *as a word*, i.e. not maemo.org, not icon, not logo, no nothing except for the word.

The question still remains about who owns the "maemo.org" logo we all see on our screen right now. I have the feeling that even if someone uses the logo without explicit authorisation nobody (i.e. owner) is going to come and sue him, unless it's a company the name of which I dare not mention for various reasons, which I can also not speak of.
