Permissions for use of logos and imagery #261
Description
There's images on some pages that we used with a caption crediting the source - those have been checked at merge and seem fine. Would be good to track other permissions to use images and logo though. Here's a list of logos, used in the "array libraries" tab on the front page (or planned to be used):
- Dask - approved received from Matt Rocklin and Peter Wang
- Xarray - approval by Stephan Hoyer
- CuPy - approval by Crissman Loomis
- Pydata/Sparse - approval by Hameer Abbasi
- JAX - approved by Matthew Johnson and Paige Bailey
- Xtensor - approval by Sylvain Corlay
- Apache Arrow - "nominative use" permitted (see comment below)
- XND - confirmation by me (@rgommers) on behalf of Quansight
- PyTorch - approved by Soumith Chintala
- Tensorflow - approval received by email from Paige Bailey and Fred Alcober
- MXNet - "nominative use" permitted (see comment below)
- TensorLy - approved by Jean Kossaifi
- Uarray - confirmation by me (@rgommers) on behalf of Quansight
I'm sending a bunch of messages to ask for permission - can't imagine anyone objecting, but better to do things correctly.

TensorFlow is the one project that has guidelines: https://www.tensorflow.org/extras/tensorflow_brand_guidelines.pdf. Relevant text:
ATTRIBUTION Please only use the TensorFlow name and marks when accurately referencing this software distribution, and do not use our marks in a way that suggests you are endorsed by or otherwise affiliated with Google. When referring to our marks, please include the following attribution statement: "TensorFlow, the TensorFlow logo and any related marks are trademarks of Google Inc.”
We don't really want to include that statement, will look weird. I'll try to get an exception, will leave TensorFlow out till then.

Apache has a "nominative use" clause at https://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/ that allows us to use their logos without specifically asking for permission.

To make people's life easier, here is a current draft of this content. Final version may be different, but the main idea won't be: logo, name, short description (mostly taken from each projects' own site right now):

Hello, many thanks for doing this. You certainly have our authorization for the Xtensor project. This is great to be listed on the NumPy website.

Okay, received the TensorFlow approval, glad to be able to add that - that'll complete the page.

CuPy approved! Thanks for asking.

Thanks for doing this -- this is absolutely fine. Great to have TensorLy listed on the NumPy website!

Last approval received, closing. Thanks everyone!
