I've always wanted a bright orange shirt (#ff6600) like the default topcolor with a nice large Y on the front.
I'm wondering if there is a trademark that would prevent someone from designing and selling one (even after explicitly stating no affiliation/connection with YC.)
Wikipedia Commons[1] says Jessica designed it and has trademark restrictions however...
EDIT:
Followed the rabbit-hole and found this: http://ycombinator.com/legal.html which states This image of our logo is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 license.
..I unfortunately am not familiar with that license, but after reading up on it[2], it would seem fair game, as long as the person(s) gave attribution to Jessica/YC.
Anyone have any counterpoints/corollaries to prove me utterly out of touch with everything, or am I correct in my understanding here?
