Sorry guys, I think I introduced confusion with the word "logo".
This is because there was a previous discussion about a "badge", which I
understood as something like "Powered by XX", "GNU inside", "Viewable
with any browser", or "POSIX-compliant". I was not speaking of Devuan's
logo at all.
Inevitably, the idea of a badge leads to a foundation entitled to
stamp distros with the badge. I am wondering if only a clear phrasing of
the principles would be enough, without the impediments and the
sectarism of a foundation.
