I just opened the logo-droplet.svg in Inkscape. On the Document metadata
License pane it says "proprietary" .. but since all the other metadata
fields (Author, Date, ... ) are not filled in, this is probably just a
defualt value.

Same story for the logo-hg.svg file.

The latter requires that you have the font installed, otherwise it looks
quite silly.


Matt, is it possible to have new versions of the two files with metadata,
and with the "Hg" rendered as a path instead of text?
