[IAEP] Conditions for the usage of XO logo?

[Sebastian Silva]

No need to panic!

We can and use the logo [in the Sugar interface].

I was wondering if we can modify it and distribute modified versions of it
like we did before (maybe we shouldn't have?):

I was unaware that we couldn't use in promotion.
Regards,
Sebastian
