Sounds good

So I have to say this is very disappointing. I would urge you to reconsider the specifics of your license. I understand the need to have the logo on the web UI, however for any skin to work well the logo will need to be adjusted to fit with the new design. This would just require that anti aliasing be fixed using a "clean" version of your logo.

Of course I'd lean much more towards a required powered by "zimbra" logo or link at the foot of the web gui. This would provide you with the needed marketing for your excellent product without being overly obtrusive to any design changes. This is the sort of "brand" requirement for most other open web projects I have used.

Anyway, my thinking is that in the spirit of open source, you would benefit greatly from allowing developers to improve on both the application and the web interface.
