The new draft section 2 says "You may use the Sugar Labs Marks *with*
prior written permission for the following purposes (subject to the
other sections)", but in the old draft section 2 involved *not*
needing prior written permission for those purposes, and the text
appears to still be written that way:

   2.b: To identify Sugar Labs software as a distinct component of a
   software offering. For example, "MyDistro, sweetened by Sugar" or
   other "<product>, <joined with> Sugar" language would be a use that
   does not require explicit written permission.

Stating "you need written permission, for example, here's a case where
you don't need written permission" doesn't make sense -- my preferred
fix would be reverting to *not* needing written permission for the
unmodified/bundling situations described in §2.  What do others think?

Thanks,

- Chris.
