First of all I am sure that Bill has never written directly to this list, since as far as I know Bill has never appeared on any list. Secondly Bill has made it clear to me and many others that he does not give permission for his copyrighted or registered property without his explicit permission. If you have doubts you should contact the Permaculture Institute in Australia direct.

stating clearly that the logo can be used for non-commercial purposes, such
as courses. I am sure it is in the archives somewhere.
