+# CDF Branding Guidelines
+
+These guidelines provide you with guidance for using the CDF logo.
+All artwork is made available under the Linux Foundation trademark usage
+[guidelines](https://www.linuxfoundation.org/trademark-usage/). This text from
+those guidelines, and the correct and incorrect usage examples, are particularly
+helpful:
+>Certain marks of The Linux Foundation have been created to enable you to
+>communicate compatibility or interoperability of software or products. In
+>addition to the requirement that any use of a mark to make an assertion of
+>compatibility must, of course, be accurate, the use of these marks must
+>avoid confusion regarding The Linux Foundation’s association with the
+>product. The use of the mark cannot imply that The Linux Foundation or
+>its projects are sponsoring or endorsing the product.
+
+Additionally, permission is granted to modify the CDF mark for non-commercial uses such as t-shirts and stickers.
+
