[Openid-specs-fastfed] FastFed License for logo exchange

[Romain Lenglet]

So the license for a logo can be revoked by the Licensor at any time?
What does that mean for the Licensee? How long can a Licensee cache a logo?
How often do we need to poll the Licensor to check that the License for a
logo hasn't been revoked?

I would prefer that a License is granted indefinitely, otherwise it will be
hard to use any logo.
