My gut says t go with the GPL -- I mean, trust people not to use a

I want to prevent people using the graphics and their own words
In lots of situations, less control works out OK. On the other
hand, if you treat people like criminals, they tend to behave like
that.
I would also like to see the logo under GPL.
GPL is not meant for logos - it is for software
Is there any credible harm that a restrictive license is shielding
us from?
Exactly what are we going to gain by this restriction? Preventing
some other foss conference using it?
I personally dont mind if another foss conference uses it - but Niyam
has made it so good that lots of other people would be tempted to use
it for their products.
