Posted in: #Legal

I would like to use Drupal, Joomla, WP and other well known recognized icons instead of written tags on my website. They would be like 16x16 pixels big.

Is this OK?

I mean it is just for information purposes for the user, which technology is used etc. it is not a commercial project either.

What about asp.net, apple, android and other big names?

Is it ok to use icons like e.g. these guys alternativeto.net/category/

I am just asking, because this world is weird and you hear all the time about the patent wars in mass media.

EDIT: Are icons on the website/firefox plugin like wappalyzer.com illegal or not?

In addition to looking at what the owners of the logos themselves say about use,there are a couple of other things you need to think about:

Firstly, you may not be legally obliged to follow the rules laid down by the company. In the case of copyrighted logos, you may qualify for "fair use" exemption for example - and many company logos simply don't qualify for copyright protection anyway, as plain words and simple geometric shapes are not copyrightable.

Secondly, logos of companies are usually protected by trademark law, not just copyright law. How this applies depends on which legal jurisdiction you are in, and which the owner of the trademark is in.

Most of these open source applications and frameworks who have logos ready for you to use with minor limitations compared to commercial applications. Every company you listed should have a page similar to the ones below outlining what you can and cannot do with their logos.

WordPress wordpress.org/about/logos/
Drupal drupal.org/drupal-media-kit
Joomla www.joomla.org/about-joomla/the-project/conditional-use-logos.html
Zend Framework framework.zend.com/community/logo/
jQuery jquery.org/about/
