I’m about to make a web app the backend of which will be written in Python. I wanted to include the “python powered” logo in the HTML. I’m having some issues when I include it from my file system, but no issues when I include it from your website.
My web app won’t have a lot of traffic, but I guess it would give your servers some extra work.
Is it allowed to put the link to your website as the image source?
The other potential concern here more than a few extra hits to PSF servers is trademark usage; I’m neither your nor the PSF’s lawyer, and this is not legal advice, but your usage sounds okay on that front, as it seems like you’re using it exactly for what its intended for. However, just in case, you should consult the PSF’s trademarks policy and be sure to consider how it applies to the specifics of your case, and if you’re still unsure, you could ask here providing the specifics of your use case.
“Now you got me thinking. What does the “Python Powered” logo truly mean? Would somebody draw the conclusion that there is a partnership or endorsement?”
Nobody can control what conclusions others draw, but no reasonable person will imagine that the use of the Python Powered logo implies an endorsement.
“If the logo is ambiguous, I think it would be good if PSF made a logo which is tailored to cases like mine.”
