Hello Alpine Linux Team,

I=E2=80=99m contacting you on behalf of= Provibr, a commercial server and infrastructure management platform=2E

Provibr allows customers to deploy and= =20 manage operating systems on their own servers=2E We would like to request= =20 permission to use the official Alpine Linux logo within Provibr to visually identify Alpine Linux as an available=20 operating system=2E

The logo would be used solely for=20 identification purposes, for example:

in the operating system installation catalogue;
<= span>next to Alpine Linux versions/templates available for deployment;
<= li>within server views where Alpine Linux is installed;
potent= ially in public documentation where Alpine Linux support is described=2E=

We would only use official Alpine Linux brand assets, follow any applicable trademark and branding guidelines,=20 and would not modify the logo or imply sponsorship, endorsement,=20 certification, partnership, or affiliation with the Alpine Linux=20 project=2E

Could you please confirm whether this= =20 type of logo usage is permitted within a commercial platform such as=20 Provibr, and let us know if any specific attribution or branding=20 requirements apply?

Screenshots or mock-ups of the intended placement can be=20 provided if needed=2E

With kind regards,

Sebastiaan Eekhof

CTO, Provibr
