maybe just be sure the original author won't claim anything in the future?
ie. the logo should be released with a free licence. Just to avoid the kind of 
troubles we had with new.zope.org

I'd personally prefer to see an SVG file. I can create a clean one from the 
bitmap logo if needed. It should then be stored in the bluebream template svn.

Baiju, when are we going to be sure we can use this logo? (in blog articles, or 
any publication). I also find it nice.
