The scarab artwork is available under a Creative Commons ShareAlike
1.0 license. Detailed information is available here:

	http://cvs.cairographics.org/*checkout*/cairo-artwork/COPYING

If you feel the rights granted in that license are insufficient for
your intended use, please contact the original author (Richard Worth)
directly and ask.

What format would you like the artwork in?

The original format is all scalable as it is SVG, for example:

	http://cvs.cairographics.org/*checkout*/cairo-artwork/cairo_logo.svg

(and several other variations: http://cvs.cairographics.org/cairo-artwork/)

Cairo just happens to be a fine tool for converting this artwork into
other formats as well, so just ask if you need anything else and I
would be glad to help.

I'll look forward to seeing the review. I might mention that the
preferred "long name" of cairo is:

	the cairo graphics library

and the preferred "short name" is:

	cairo

without capitalization. We only prefer "Cairo" over "cairo" when the
name appears at the beginning of a sentence.
