As has been discussed on fedora-devel, I have an issue with the zocial
font package. The question is if this font because of it's use of
trademarked logos can't be used in Fedora.

Any help out there?

This seems like a terrible idea. I'd strongly recommend that you not
package it.

OK, last nail in the coffin. I will not package openerp7, this is just
too much hazzle.

Since I will send this message upstream, could you possibly expand a
little on the motivation?
Unless they have explicit permission to use the trademarks in their font
(which I can't imagine they have), the font is clearly infringing upon
the trademarks because it is placing those logos in contexts that imply
that there is a relationship between the owners of those trademarks and
any place the font is in use.

That's a trivial lawsuit waiting to happen.
