What a joke! It is not for Nokia to impose stringent conditions on those who wish to notify them of possible illegal content in their products. It is their responsibility to ensure they are not breaking the law. You do not need to be the copyright holder to inform them you believe they are breaking the law. If you want to act on this , just send them a written letter by a signed for mail service to one of there corporate offices. I would strongly advise against any "sworn statement" and suggest you couch everything in conditional disclaimers like "it appears that" , "I believe that" etc. so that they can't accuse you of anything. BTW the logo has not been "stolen" , gimp.org is still in possession of it and still using it. Theft implies dispossessing someone of a physical object. Making a copy does not deprive the rightful owner of possession. Copyright infringement is a civil offence not to be assimilated with theft which is a criminal act. The logo has not been stolen , neither were the climategate emails stolen.

So there will be a connection between the two, but they can't be "merged" the way Michael's last mail suggests. ciao, --Mitch ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

In Author/Editor we had command groups, so that one command might have a whole sequence of sub-commands but make a single entry in the undo/redo history. The handler chain got to see the outer command as well as the sequence of inner commands, of course.

You can ask 300 million Symbian users and ex-Symbian users about their jokes but it doesn't change they stupidly created that policy preventing me from reporting it in an official way that will be archived on their systems and legally bind them. > > You do not need to be the copyright holder to inform them you believe > they are breaking the law. > > If you want to act on this , just send them a written letter by a signed > for mail service to one of there corporate offices. > > I would strongly advise against any "sworn statement" and suggest you > couch everything in conditional disclaimers like "it appears that" , "I > believe that" etc. so that they can't accuse you of anything. > > BTW the logo has not been "stolen" , gimp.org is still in possession of > it and still using it.

Yes, I couldn't find correct word for it and my purpose of posting that message to developer list of an application which I can't even build (because of arch issues) to send an "heads up" to GIMP project developers, who really "owns" it. So, that is why I used the "" sign. > > The logo has not been stolen , neither were the climategate emails > stolen. That just stupid tabloid newpaper language. While posting the message, I had a feeling that it is slightly off topic. What gave me the reason is actually GIMP doesn't have (or I couldn't find) a dedicated page to report license issues like Mozilla folks have. On the other hand, as you see I am posting with my real name, not "/IO", I am not a native english speaker. It is persons like you who really manages to make people "afraid" of sending any feedback, positive or negative. This is not a copyright matters forum or English lecture class. I have no reason to debate whether I am posting in the right terms or if I, as a foreigner who speaks english as a second language uses "Tabloid" language. Message purpose to reach GIMP developers about this very shameful act by a developer who sure knows what GIMP is (Symbian isn't a toy to code) and let them contact Nokia as our feedback would likely be lost in thousands of "my app is bwoken" kind of messages. I was expecting some kind of "off topic" flame but not this. It is really interesting that only absolute offtopic message with flaming the messenger for the choice of words happens on this particular open source projects mailing list. I got my lesson second time for attempting to help an open source project in a positive manner. > > /gg > > > So as I know copyright issues should be taken serious, especially by GPL > > software, I thought I better report it this way. > > > > Sorry for off topic message, if it is... ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
