btw.: is there a text similar to the tile usage policy (logo usage
policy)? Is the current logo still protected by trademarks (like the
old one is which AFAIK was registered by SteveC who then transferred
the rights to OSMF)? What is the license of the logo? Wiki states
cc-by-sa2.0 e.g. here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Openstreetmap_logo_354_354.png
but there is as far as I can see no reference to the creator? Or is
this Gustavf ?
