    Thanks for considering providing attribution.  I'm not aware of
existing standards on providing attribution.  I would suggest a link to:

        http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/

    Attached to either the xmlgraphics badge:
        http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/images/group-logo.png

or the Batik 'logo':

These days the ASF guards its trademarks and logos. For the current
policy see http://apache.org/foundation/marks/. I believe the above
suggestions are withing that policy, see esp. the following phrases:

"Examples of permitted nominative fair use:

        * "This <here> is the graphic logo for Apache Foo software."

and

"Using the Apache Foo (and similar) graphic logos:

You needn't ask us for permission to use Apache's graphics logos (the
versions published on individual project's websites) on your own
website solely as a hyperlink to the specific Apache project website
or to www.apache.org. All other uses of Apache Foo (and similar)
graphic logos must be approved in writing by the Apache PRC.

Unlike ASF's word trademarks (such as "Apache" and "Foo"), our graphic
logos are also licensed to the public under the Apache License. That
license permits you to create derivative works of those logos, as with
any other Apache copyrighted work. However, trademark law does not
allow you to apply any "confusingly similar" derivative logo to
software if a relevant consumer would likely be confused by that use
of that derivative logo."

So, please go ahead, and thanks for considering providing attribution.

Yes, there are a few [1] pointed out in the Batik site, although the
list is most likely not exhaustive (Batik is used in many
enterprise/internal projects, as far as I know).


Hope this helps,
