Tailscale replied on 2026-08-14, after a week, that their logo is not to be used for
MARKETING purposes.
That is not this use. The mark appears in the attribution strip inside an installed
app, naming the project the client speaks to — no store listing, no screenshot, no
website, and this repository is not published anywhere it reads as promotion. So it
stays, deliberately and provisionally, on that reading.
Written into the component and the NOTICE rather than left in a conversation, because
the decision has two halves and only one of them is obvious later. The first is that
it may stay for now. The second is that it must NOT migrate into a store listing or a
promotional image on the strength of already being in the app — that is exactly the
use they declined, and it is the mistake this note exists to prevent.
If they say remove it, it is one component and its two call sites. That containment is
why it was worth keeping rather than pre-emptively cutting.
