No. You cannot make a remix or use samples without a license.

YOU CAN!

I'll give you one example: https://www.youtube.com/yt/copyright/fair-use.html#yt-copyright-four-factors

Please read this from TOP-DOWN, between the lines, 3 times before start answering me. And understand the part of FAIR USE.

Again before replying, read that link again one more time, and pay attention on the part of FAIR USE.

I have a friend which was judged and won on this matter last year.

Err... no you can't. In general, you can't. Yes, I know what "fair use" is. It differs widely from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and within an jurisdiction and is very much a case-by-case issue.

E.g. professionals often get the right to display examples of their work to prospective customers, or you get to create a satirical work based on other works, or for research etc. "education" isn't good enough, alone, if it was it would be impossible to sell educational works.

But the Bern convention set out to protect copyright holders, not end users. So all it says is what the minimum requirements are... but all jurisdictions can grant creators _more_ rights than what the convention says. The only obligation is that local and foreign creators are treated equally.

Speaking of the logo, does anyone know where I can get my hands on a 256x256 PNG version of the logo (or at least larger than the website one). I need to upload it for the GSOC application.

I know I can take the logo from the website and blow it up, but it is pretty small and enlarging it so much will result in a pretty awful looking image.

OK, found the SVG version, so I should be good. Sorry for the noise

...  you can go back to arguing about fair use :o)

It's an SVG file, so enlarging should work beautifully. If you're having trouble with it, I can upload a larger SVG or PNG version.

Is 256x256 the ideal format? Does it need to be square? The logo on the site is more wide than high. Do you want it cropped or centered?

Great, maybe also mention that it would be nice if it could be used on T-shirts and book covers?
