In the general section when talking about the maemo trademark and
significant changes done to products and services it states those may
not be distributed. Even if it seems to refer to maemo as a whole
(like the distro or whatever), I take that applies to single software
projects which have maemo in their name as well? How much would be a
significant change (I'm thinking on the general patching a distro might
do which depending on your interpretatino might be significant)?
If the non-commercial use right applies to those single projects
(which I also take it does), those would have to be renamed on
inclusion on free distros so that derivatives can use them safely?

What's the license for those logos, there's not file stating any in
the zip file?

This contradicts with what's stated on the FAQ, which is the correct one?
