<p><b>New page</b></p><div>On April 19, 2006, I sent an e-mail to the Wikimedia Foundation [mailto:info-en@wikimedia.org official e-mail address] inquiring whether it was considered fair use to use the logo I created. On May 19, 2006, they finally replied. I have quoted their exact reply here for future reference. Well...it wasn't actually styled as a Strong Bad e-mail when I received it, but I thought it'd be more appropriate to preserve it in that form here.<br />

Hi Gordon. I'm the lawyer for the Wikimedia Foundation.<br />
<br />
In response to your request, you are granted permission to use the puzzle globe logo you reference, provided you do the following: (1) include the statement "The puzzle globe logo is copyrighted by the Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. Used with permission." and (2) "Homestar Runner" is not associated with the <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.wikipedia.org Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.]</span>. This must accompany *any* use of the logo. If you intend to put it up as the main logo, this statement should be included in the footer of the site.<br />
<br />
Your administrator should be able to do this.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yours sincerely,<br />
Brad Patrick</blockquote></div>Soapergem
