Looking for something to read on my flight to Delhi, I saw a magazine called "Digit" with 3 DVDs for 250 Rs. On one of the DVDs was the Wikimedia logo, so I had to check it out.
Turns out that the DVD contained a small number of featured pictures from Wikimedia Commons. One of the other DVDs had a video of Jimmy's recent Mumbai talk on it.
Now, I don't think they obtained permission to use our logo, and I didn't check for media attribution, but it was nice to see regardless.

Ya the magazine is one of several nationwide tech magazine that include DVD with random freeware/shareware/demo content. Copyright and trademark are already hard to enforce as it is in India, content on free DVDs might be even harder. I think we should consider it as free promotion, and appreciate the publicity (as i think you alluded to).
The magazine is published out of Mumbai, there is a contact page if you would want to pursue it.
