Elephant logo in a book

От

Hello,

i got a somewhat curious request on de@postgresql.porg:

For a book with the name "Markentiere/Corporate Animals" they want to
use (among others) the PostgreSQL elephant logo. What is the license for
the logo and can it be included in the book?

They also want me to sign a license contract - but I will reject this
request.

The publisher is german, the name is "Die Gestalten". The website is:

http://www.gestalten.com/books


Source of the logo:

http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/search/logo/postgresql

Although I think, the regular logo from the pgfoundry website should be ok.


Opinions?

That version of the logo has been flipped horizontally.  Doesn't look right.

Yeah, that's not our logo when shown like that.

Lay opinion: If it is a work of the press that reports on the use of
logos, the inclusion is allowed regardless.
