[dundee] Fwd: society - sfd poster/logo competition

Fri Mar 26 14:22:13 UTC 2010

We don't require File-Away's logo to appear - just a strap-line (small print) 
with 'sponsored by.., etc..' will do. That deals with the logo copyright 
issues. The copyright terms for the poster can then be decided by the user 
group without confusing the issue.
