[Lazarus] My Lazarus logo using Inkscape

[João Marcelo Vaz]

There's a link on the cheetah page to the reproduction rights:
http://nature.ca/notebooks/english/reprorights.htm

This statement is there:

"Illustrations and photographs are also subject to copyright
protection, so you do not have the right to reproduce them, in most
circumstances.
You may reproduce illustrations and photographs for personal use, as
long as you credit the creator and copyright owner of each image. So,
for example, you may copy an image and use it in a school project,
with credit given.
The museum does not own all of the photographs used in the Natural
History Notebooks, but it received permission from the owners to do
so. The copyright owner of each illustration and photograph is
identified directly below the larger-version of the image (obtained by
clicking on the smaller version, and delivered in a pop-up
browser-window). Where no copyright owner is identified for a
photograph, it exists in the public domain."

And "For any other use of material from the Natural History Notebooks,
contact us to request written permission."

So, i would ask the museum for permission, in order to avoid future problems...
