Some extracts:-

(at the top)

    Explanation 2.  � The  expression, "Indian National Flag" includes
    any  picture, painting,  drawing or  photograph, or  other visible
    representation  of the  Indian National  Flag, or  of any  part or
    parts  thereof,  made  of  any  substance or  represented  on  any
    substance.

So applies to tee shirts. 

   3.22 The Flag shall not be used as a drapery in any form whatsoever
     except  in State/Military/Central  Para military  Forces funerals
     hereinafter provided.

Does not apply to us.

     3.27 The  Flag shall  not be used  as a  portion of a  costume or
       uniform  of any description.   It shall  not be  embroidered or
       printed upon cushions, handkerchiefs, napkins or boxes.
  
Probably applies to the logo as posted.

I deliberately  us the term  `probably' because if it  really applied,
sportsmen could not use it on their dresses. 

A good option will be use the  tricolor as a part of the logo; and not
the logo as a part of the tricolor - a la' the foss.in logo.

A good way of implementing this  would be to have the tricolor + gears
about 1/3 size ot the  words `kde.in' (maximum size of tricolor should
be 1  inch or so) centered and  above the words kde.in.  Of course the
artistic mind would have better options ...
