Technically I believe the logos are GPLd and owned by the FSF, so as  
long as their use honors the license, it should be allowed.  To the  
extent that my blessing means anything :) I think it's fine as long as  
it's used in a positive spirit to the betterment of the Mailman  
community.

As long as there are useful distinctions between the groups, I think  
it's fine to have more than one.  David's appears to be for folks who  
are administering Mailman lists.
