I should have thought that is freqently asked yet "frog" does not
appear in the K-95 FAQ nor in a dejanews seach of this group.
According to the "Trademarks & Copyrights" section of "Using C-Kermit"
the name "Kermit" is used by permission of Henson Associates.
What, however, is the situation with regard to using the image of
Kermit the Frog as an icon? Have Henson ever been asked about this?
What about hybrid icons of the frog and other logos/trademarks for
kermit sessions to particular platforms? (For example Kermit/Tux for
a Linux session).
For years I have had such icons for personal use, given the IPR issues
I would not want to release them unless Henson Associatess were to say
that the image could be used in this way.
