Is "STEEMIT" or the STEEM Logo Under Copyrights?
In preparation for my upcoming Steemit promotion at the SCSU university, I wanted to get some custom clothing made with the printed "STEEMIT'" and the STEEM logo. But when I was calling around places to see if they could give me what I was searching for, the same question and problem kept coming up.
"Is your design copyrighted?"
Unfortunately I don't know this answer.
I searched in many places, including under the couch and it’s just not there.
What I did come up with though was this upload to GitHub from user 'mahnunchik'
https://github.com/mahnunchik/steem/blob/master/LICENSE.md
Now, when I look at this, and correct me if I’m wrong, but unless the word STEEMIT or the logo is generated by the code, then there really shouldn't be a copyright on it...
AM I RIGHT?!
But this isn't really what I desired. I really would like something explicitly stating
"The word "STEEMIT" and Steem Logo are not under copyrights and free to use"
Although I’m probably just going to get it done anyway, I really wouldn't want the Founders to come hunt me down in a year if this STEEMIT blows beyond FB!
Please comment if you know other sources or contain the answer to this riddle.


Also, does Steem not infringe on Steam?
I don't think you can copyright common words like steam.
I believe these dudes will just thank you for spreading the word... look how much joy steemit is sharing! Decentro thinks JUST DO IT!
Oh i probably will be like "nike"
Bad response....delete post
Very close. I wonder if the Founders know about this?
Have you found out the answer? Trying to get the answer for the Steemit FAQ I'm putting together.
