Relicense to CC-BY-SA, create trademark policy #3

Description

@TheLastProject

I am assuming the reason the logo is licensed CC-BY-NC-SA is to keep other companies from using the logo. However, this had the side effect of disallowing it into Debian, because it is non-Free art.

A better solution is to freely license the artwork, but add a trademark policy for Tox, like, for example, The Document Foundation has.

This trademark needs to allow:

  • Sharing Tox as-is
  • Modifying Tox
  • Sharing modified versions of Tox
  • Selling original or modified versions of Tox

However, it can be benificial to add some restrictions. For example, disallow usage that implies you accept their use of the trademark, or for usage with Tox clients that are not compatible with the current, Tox Project-maintained, protocol. It is a good idea to think the exact restrictions we want through, and make sure we allow enough to keep the whole Tox package, altogether, Free Software.
