It seems to me that this becomes a never ending discussion. For me it would be a pity if we could not have models with whatever (legal) Logo - but for me it would be an even bigger pity if the FlightGear -Community would get into a lawsuit because of this with incalculable risks. So I get the idea: Why not try to put the risks where they belong?
It should be possible to post other people things without taking the responsibility for that - i.e. if FGFS proves it did its best to avoid any legal problems. So how about an legal agreement in writing between FGFS-Server-Resposible and the designer, that the later - has been informed about possible risks (e.g. when using such Logos) - has the approval to use that Logo from the owner of that logo - and that he is of legal age - and that he agrees that FGFS can remove his design from it's server whenever opportune I would say a copy of that should also go into the package of that model To my knowledge that is a usual procedure for any Server providing something for others. Dow we have "Legal-People" who could come up with something like that? And would designers accept to take that risk for themselves? joe ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.
