Hi,

Someone created a mashup[1] between the logos of OpenStreetMap and Antifa, a collective of militant
groups which are known to use violence. This graphic is distributed on stickers.[2]

I'm asking to cease use of this logo.

I think it's a bad idea to create material that associates OpenStreetMap with political groups.
I suspect there are also trademark issues with the mashup.

Kind regards,
