+Boxes has acquired explicit permission from trademark owners for the usage and
+shipment (though we don't ship them but rather download them on demand) of their
+logos[1][3]. Please note that this permission does not extend to any derivate
+work but only applies to Boxes for the very specific purpose of identifying the
+products in question.
+
+Following are the owners for each logo:
+
+Fedora: Red Hat, Inc.
+Ubuntu: Canonical Ltd.
+openSUSE: Novell, Inc. [2]
+Debian: SPI (Software in the Public Interest).
+Red Hat Enterprise Linux: Red Hat, Inc.
+
+The Fedora board/legal required we keep a special note in this file:
+
+   Fedora®, the Fedora word design, and the Infinity design logo, either
+   separately or in combination, are hereinafter referred to as "Fedora
+   Trademarks" and are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc., registered in the
+   United States and other countries. The Boxes software contains images
+   that are or include the Fedora Trademarks. You are granted a a
+   license to copy and redistribute unmodified image files containing
+   the Fedora Trademarks only for the purpose of indicating Fedora VM
+   instances in the Graphical Interface for the Boxes software, as
+   described to the Fedora Board on 2012-02-21. No other permission is
+   granted.
+
+   All such rights are granted to you provided that the above trademark
+   legend and this license are included with each copy you make, and
+   they remain intact and are not altered, deleted, or modified in any
+   way.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+[1] with the exception of Debian logo due to its very liberal licensing:
+
+http://www.debian.org/logos/
+
+and GNOME logo due to the fact that Boxes is part of it and use of a project's
+logo by project itself should not raise any legal concerns. For use of GNOME
+logo in other projects, please refer to:

+openSUSE would like to have our logo show up as one of the installable
+OSes within Boxes. Please ensure that you follow the Trademark
+Guidlines[0]. If you would like to modify the logo to work better with

+Subject: [redhat.com #10108047] Use of "Shadow Man" logo in GNOME Boxes
+From: "Pam Chestek via RT" <tmlicense redhat com>
+To: zeenix redhat com
+
+Zeeshan,
+
+The use of the Shadowman logo without the Red Hat word mark included is
+approved for use in the manner shown in the screenshot you provided,
+i.e., as a graphical representation of an operating system choice
+available when using the "Boxes" software. This permission is granted
+for the Boxes project and also any Red Hat incorporation of the Boxes
+software into its commercial product.
+
+The use is approved conditioned on (1) also including the product name
+of the operating system, e.g., "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6" and (2) that
+an image file is not provided as part of the Boxes software but rather
+the logo is downloaded at runtime is is available only for a user that
+already has a Red Hat operating system available to him or her.
+
+Paula Weigel can help you with a copy of the logo.

+Subject: Your application to Ubuntu to Trademarks
+
+Hi Zeeshan,
+
+Thank you for contacting us and for your interest in and support of Ubuntu.
+
+============
+
+We have been working on a new GNOME
+application, Boxes[1] that (among other things) enables users to easily
+manage virtuat-machines. This also includes ability to detect
+operating-systems given an installation media and presenting an
+intuitive and impressive UI to user to easily install different
+operating systems with minimum or no interaction. Boxes makes use of a
+new library, libosinfo[2] that provides information about operating
+systems (which it internally keeps in an XML database).
+
+Can we get explicit permission to use the Ubuntu logo (as shown in the screen[3]) and distribut it as part 
of libosinfo or Boxes itself?

+
+============
+
+Canonical is the official sponsor of the Ubuntu project and owns the trademarks, both in the word and logo 
form, relating to the project.
+
+To keep the balance between the integrity of our trademarks and the ability to customise Ubuntu, we’ve tried 
to define a reasonable trademark policy that allows our Community to use Ubuntu and to promote the project. 
You can read the full policy at http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy.
+
+As your intent is to promote the Ubuntu brand and show your support of the software, we have no issue with 
you producing the product as you have requested.
+
+You can find our brand guidelines and downloadable images at http://design.ubuntu.com/.
+
+Thanks again for your support.
+
+Kind regards,
+
