It would be the safe option. I would hope they (and most) would respond positively to an approach for specific permission as not only is this good promotion/inclusion of their project(s) but your work is beautifully and respectfully done. As a long-time DBA the one that worries me most is a trademarked O ;-)


But also (https://almalinux.org/p/the-almalinux-os-licensing-policy/) excludes logos and says they are covered by (https://almalinux.org/p/trademark-guidelines)- which does not exist (404)
