Problem: The logo is not protected from being abused

From an email from NLNet:

I don't know if it is up to you, but I'm not sure you should put the logo under a Creative Commons Zero license though, that means you cannot regulate its abuse. E.g. if you become successful, closed competitors can theoretically put up the logo on their site to confuse users - without actually running the service.

I've seen marketing people relabel cable internet with Docsis into ADSL, because 'that is what users think is more reliable'. Corporate marketing is not averse to lying and mimicry, and you want a stick to wield against the worst excesses.

We have some legal support that can help out with these kinds of things, BTW
