RE: Distributions page, Mac OS X

Logos? Lawyers? Pointless trademark licenses? Why, this sounds like a
job for a Product Manager!

I'd be surprised if we have to execute that agreement just to put a logo
on the web page. Apple has an email address for logo questions. I've
sent them a message; let's see what they have to say.

Best,
J

... which boils down to "someone has to sign the license agreement
available there (good for one year)."

One of the reasons the license is only good for a year, apparently,
is that they keep changing the image you're allowed to use. The
current one doesn't provide any graphical distinction (only
recommended text) between things for OS X and things for earlier
MacOSen:
