I recently posted some artworks based on the green lizard in n.p.m.ui but
unfortunately I discovered mozilla.org isn't free to use the lizard.
I've just read the posts appeared in this thread a while ago about mozilla
artwork and I am quite surprised.
Ok, I can agree, using the same logo for both Netscape and Mozilla.org
is not a good idea but then using the name Mozilla.org, used for years as
Navigator's code-name wasn't a good idea, too.
Have we this name, haven't we? well, we should use the companion logo. Netscape
could transfer the copyright to Mozilla.org, this shouldn't be a big
problem given that it seems Ns doesn't use the lizard anymore.
My suggestion is: Why don't we use the lizard as logo for Mozilla the
software and the dinosaur as logo for Mozilla.org ?
Btw, given that, at the moment, any use of the lizard by the Mozilla
organization is a copyright violation we should remove it from the
current splash screen, as Ben Bucksch pointed out in n.p.m.ui,
as well as from http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/,
http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/team.html,
http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/gecko.html
and probably from several other pages.
