As I already told you privately before, the license of the mouse should
be GPLv2+, as is the rest of monotone's sources. (The documentation was
once relicensed to GPLv2+ IIRC, so the logo was most likely part of it.)
Since I'm the author of the modified / "gradiented" version I can only
say I grant you the needed rights using it as cover for your book.

If anybody has a different opinion, he should speak up now or forever
hold his peace :)

Its source is scalable SVG and can be obtained here:

Thank you for using it and improving its perception!

Thomas.
