Docker, RStudio and the License

I am trying to build localized Docker images (= awesome rocker's images + local fonts and TeX styles). My question is, is it allowed to distribute the image, which contains the RStudio binary, via Docker Hub?

rocker's README says:

The use of the trademarked term RStudio and the distribution of the RStudio binaries through the images hosted on hub.docker.com has been granted by explicit permission of RStudio.

Is this that I have to email to RStudio for permission? Or, is it OK as long as I build images from rocker's images, which already got permitted?

I've read the thread "Containers and R" and the Trademark policy, but I couldn't find the direct answer...:frowning: Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!
