Alexey,
I like your suggested icon a little more attractive than the one that
Dan put in his initial fix, but I would like to see if we can get a
more authoritative confirmation that this icon belongs to the Oxygen
team than the meta data in the icon finder site. On the other hand I
can live with the icon that Dan put up for now. Let me know if you are
able to get more info on that icon and we could ask some one like
Robert Soulliere from DIG to OK then make the change.
Thanks,
Yamil

Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] PDF icon: licensing concern &
fix
Hi, Dan.
Yes, good idea with the quick fix.
On a site called Icon Finder, there is a set of PDF icons which meet
the Adobe licensing requirement (as far as I understand) and are of
professional quality: http://www.iconfinder.com/icondetails/8890/128/pdf_reader_icon
. We could basically use those PNGs as-is. I would vote in favor
of that icon over the GNOME one. The icon is part of the Oxygen
icon theme, dual-license: http://www.oxygen-icons.org/?page_id=4.

Hey folks:
I noticed the Adobe PDF image on the bottom of the docs pages and
thought
"Hmm..."; taking a quick look at
http://www.adobe.com/misc/linking.html#pdficon we're almost in
compliance, with a big "but":
"""
The Adobe PDF file icon is provided solely as an indicator of an
active
link to a Portable Document Format file with a .pdf filename
extension
created using an Adobe(r) Acrobat(r) product.
"""
Emphasis on "created using an Adobe(r) Acrobat(r) product"; as ours
is not,
we shouldn't be using that icon. (Actually, the icon isn't quite the
same; ours has "Adobe" on it, which is probably worse because then
we're
contravening "3. You may not alter the Adobe PDF file icon in any
manner").
So, a quick peek at GNOME's icons shows the "Dropline Etiquette"
set at
http://art.gnome.org/download/themes/icon/1049/ICON-DroplineEtiquette.tar.bz2
has an appropriately licensed (CC-BY-SA) icon called
/dlg-etiquette/scalable/mimetypes/gnome-mime-application-pdf.svg that
might meet our needs, if we don't want to create something ourselves.
I've pushed a branch called "new_pdf_icon" to the DIG repository that
contains a replacement GIF derived from the GNOME icon; to comply
with
the BY-SA license, I have included a comment in the GIF that clearly
states the provenance of the icon.
In the spirit of "beg for forgiveness", I have gone ahead and pushed
this change to the master, rel_2_1, and rel_2_0 branches of the repo
too. This can obviously be changed later, but I thought it was
important
to address this (relatively minor) licensing violation right away.
Dan
