@shaunm I’d like to put together a feature image that includes the Framework logo but we should have approval for that from Framework. Do you have a contact, or a way to acquire one that can provide such approval?

If not we can come up with an alternative.

@shaunm Regarding the AI statement, I would suggest a sentence at the end of the article indicating how it was used would be sufficient.

I asked Michael Tunnell on Matrix. He’s the Linux marketing manager at Framework. He says we have permission to use the Framework logo.
