[wp-forums] Curious about usage of CodePoet logo

[Joni Mueller]

I absolutely ALWAYS ask permission first. I am amazed at the number of "web professionals," however, who do not.  Since I had seen the logo "in the wild" I thought it might be possible and permissible.  But since I am well aware of how Matt protects his brand (e.g., no domains with the string "WordPress"), the other part of me thought I might get shot out of the saddle on that one.  I was hoping there could be something similar to social media icons for CodePoet, like we have for Behance, etc.

So the tl;dr take away: Is the logo yours? No? Ask permission first!

(I'm terrible at that too, but I think using it for 'editorials' is
okay. I'll ask my lawyer/Mom.)
