User:Ohms law/Logo RFC

Both Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons host many sports team logos under various, often disparate, licensing terms. This RFC is designed to examine the appropriateness of the current licenses which are provided on the File namespace pages for each logo, and to possibly determine an appropriate extent of their usage here on the English Wikipedia.

Some terms that participants should understand include:
