Question about repackaging

Is it OK if I repacked PAM with some handy application. I know that PAM is opensource but the logo isn't. So is it legal?

Well

the logo is trademarked and thus not redistributable (AFAIK) but the menu is Opensource.
I think it is like Mozilla's Apps where the Apps are Opensource and the logos aren't.

Right...AFAIK as long as you

Right...AFAIK as long as you remove the PortableApps logo and text from the menu you should be able to redistribute it without any problems
