[arch-announce] Update on Misuse of Arch Linux Logo
by Recent News Updates 10 Jun '09

10 Jun '09

After publishing the article discussing a misuse of our old logo in the June Newsletter, I received an unexpected e-mail from the operator of the company in question. He has made a formal apology and has removed the logo from his website. We thank him for his compliance and wish him well in designing a new logo to represent his company. Apparently he received several vulgar and threatening e-mails from members of our community. I am very disappointed that this has occurred; I thought our users were above this sort of behaviour. I did not intend to motivate such actions, and I hope our community can act more maturely in the future. URL: http://www.archlinux.org/news/449/
