I was wondering the same thing for Chairman's Award...Can we use copywrited music, and if we can, does it need to be cited? I should think we could use music, because it is for a non-profit thing.
Does FIRST show the winning Chairman's awards at competition? One of my teammates thinks that they are not shown, so then they should not have a problem. If they played it in front of thousands of people, they could possibly have a lawsuit on their hands.
About using FIRST's logo, I would agree that you can. Our team actually uses the FIRST Logo as our own team's logo. (We changed it a bit) Our team is the N.E.W. Apple Corps, and instead of the white circle, we have a white apple. We asked permission, and they replied that it was O.K., and that they thought it was cool that we used it to create our team logo. (I attached our logo if you would like to see it.)
If anyone hears more about the copyright thing, please post it right away. I've been checking through all the FIRST updates and rules, but have found nothing about it.
