question about the logo used on https://ksp-kos.github.io/KOS/language.html

[r12012031023123]

hi

obligatory "new here, forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong place"

the image in the sidebar here: https://ksp-kos.github.io/KOS/language.html

I've just shrunk it down to 128x128 pixels and stretched it a bit after scaling it down. Is it alright if I use it in on my website? Like as an icon/flair users can put on their profile just to show that they use the KerboScript language? 

thanks!

And so you are! But alas, it is not a problem, we shall move this question over to the sub forum best suited for it!

Caerfinon, here's a summary I found for that:

You may copy, distribute and modify the software as long as you track changes/dates in source files. Any modifications to or software including (via compiler) GPL-licensed code must also be made available under the GPL along with build & install instructions.

I don't know how this would apply here, would the image I use (which is the only thing I'm using), only to reference kOS that's equivalent to saying "I am familiar with this technology" constitute fair use? If I am correct, it should right? Or is there anything I'm missing?

I'd need to include the license but I don't know where to do that and whether it applies to the logo as well. Additionally If I'm correct it could be used regardless of the licensing, under: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominative_use right?

If it were me, I would use the image on the website, but I would include an notification on the about page of the website that the image is being used under the GNU license from kos and have a link the kos about page as a reference.
