To whom it may concern:
I am preparing a book possibly an article dealing with cryptocurrency.
The topics will include a brief summary and description of the cryptocurrency market place as well as a look at the art work associated with the various logos.
Many of the currencies do not have any notes or guidelines for use of their logos. Hence I am contacting the currencies I would like to include requesting permission to use their logo images as part of the material.
Please indicate so in a reply to this email.
Regards,

Hi Robert Erlandson, I'm not an expert in the matter of Copyright, but I think since Clam like many others coins is released as open source code and the logo is in many cases, part of the code too, I think then the license should give you the ability to use the logo with no problems specially for your noble research case, for example if you get ClamClient's source code you can find under the path clams/COPYING instructions about how Clam handle his Copyright statement, it basically says that you should give credit to the people that created the software.

So I think you just need to add the quoted text above on your book or article and you will be covered by the Permission granted there. You can find the source code in the Clam's github and you can even check or visualize the files that I'm telling you in the github page without the need of downloading the source code i guess. Also in the source code, at this path clams/src/qt/res/icons/clam-128.png you can find the Clam logo with an acceptable quality.

I saw that you have posted the same request like 1 time before and maybe the answer was too simple to convince you, maybe a Dev can tell how right or wrong my point of view is and email you or allow me to email you. Also if things works like I explained before that will be good news for you because I have seen many wallets that are based in the same code so you will be able to check probably most of the Cryptocoins that you must be willing to add to your book or article, just looking to their source code and see what does their COPYING file or license file says, instead of waiting for a Dev to reply to you Cryptocoin by Cryptocoin.
