Is there an SVG source file for the Julia logo somewhere?  Is it MIT-licensed?

If it is MIT licensed, it would be good to post the SVG source on Wikipedia for use on their Julia article, replacing the PNG they are currently using (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Julia_%28programming_language%29_logo.png)

Also, the SVG source (under an open-source license) would be useful in creating derived logos for Julia-related projects, e.g. I wanted to put one together for "IJulia".

PS. What font does the logo use?

Here's the previous discussion of the logo font business:

Here's a PDF version of the logo. Just to be clear, I'm retaining copyright and trademark claims and we'll have to figure out the details of good open licenses for both these, as well as the Julia name.

The Python trademark policy seems like a reasonable model:

   http://www.python.org/psf/trademarks/
   http://www.python.org/community/logos/

I suggest that we use CC-BY or a similar permissive copyright license for the logo, but trademark everything and basically copy-and-paste the Python trademark policy with s/Python/Julia/g.  According to the USPTO, we don't actually need to register the trademark with them in order for it to be legal (although we may want to do that eventually):
