[Trond Kjetil Bremnes] > I'm currently doing some research into Skolelinux and its inception,
Skolelinux inception happend when NUUG came up with the concept Teach the teacher, and its labour happened at a party held by Håkon Wium Lie after the demonstration against Microsoft being allowed to 'define what Internet is', and its birth was a few weeks after the party when Knut Yrvin called for a meeting to start the Skolelinux project. Around the same time Raphael Hertzog started the Debian Edu metapackage initiative, and after a while the two initiatives merged. The rest is, as they say, history. :) > and I'm in that connection curious about the old (Debian-less) > Skolelinux logo. > > Does anyone know anything about the history of this logo?

Based on old email, I believe it was created by Vidar Tyldum in 2001 or 2002 using Photoshop, and recreated by Herman Robak using Gimp soon after the first edition showed up. > Also, and perhaps more importantly, does anyone know the license for > distributing this logo, and if it is OK to publish it on Wikimedia > Commons for use in Wikipedia, Wikidata etc.? My quick email search did not show anything about license. I believe it can be considered licensed the same way as the mascot, which I believe was discussed on this mailing list a while back. I was not able to find the mail thread, but perhaps someone else remember the details. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
