Bug#266480: Redistribution of graphics that includes Gentoo logo

2007-07-01 Thread Krzysztof Burghardt

Hello all,

I'd like to ask if Debian packages can include graphic that includes
Gentoo logo.
And if so which conditions those packages need to meet. Gentoo logo artwork
license is available at http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/name-logo.xml

I'm asking about this because Gentoo logo have two different license
for commercial
and not commercial use. And I decided to remove GRUB splash screen that shows
Gentoo logo form grub-splashsimages package, as it was requested in bug #266480.

Unfortunately it breaks GRUB installation that uses this logo. I'd
like to add it back.
This artwork is still in stable version of grub-splashsimages.

Regards,

This is the correct option; the logo either should be removed,
replaced with the open use debian logo, replaced with a freely
licensed image of your choice, or replaced with an empty image. [The
main problem with the Gentoo logo is that it doesn't have a licence
statement which allows users to modify the logo.]

The decision as to which solution to use is of course the
maintainer's.
