Actual way to report it is at article 7 of following document which requires you to be the actual copyright owner of the image. http://store.ovi.com/legal/terms 7. Allegations of Copyright Infringement You may notify Nokia of copyright infringement on the Service by providing notice (a) by email with “Copyright Notification” in the subject line to copyright.noti...@nokia.com, (b) by a document titled “Copyright Notification” mailed to Nokia, Attn: Copyright Agent, 102 Corporate Park Drive, White Plains, NY 10604, USA or (c) via the online form, if available. Your notice must: (1) identify the original copyrighted work you claim is infringed; (2) identify the content on the Service that you claim is infringing the copyrighted work. Please provide enough detail for Nokia to locate the allegedly infringing content on the Service; (3) provide your contact information, including your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address, if available; (4) provide a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the content in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; (5) provide this statement: I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification and complaint is accurate and that I am the copyright owner, or am authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner of an exclusive right that is infringed.; and (6) provide your signature, as applicable. 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. That just stupid tabloid newpaper language. /gg So as I know copyright issues should be taken serious, especially by GPL software, I thought I better report it this way.

It's a good architecture - I've used a scheme-scriptable editor once before that had this pattern (before they were called patterns) along with MVC, and along with scheme access to the menus, keypress events etc., and it turned out to be very powerful. (when I brought it up in IRC some time ago there didn't seem to be much support, though, so I am not sure there's agreement on it yet) I discussed this with Martin, and the outcome was to have a command layer around the core, and not make it a 1:1 match of undo operations, because undos are very atomic operation, whereas commands rather correspond to undo groups of arbitrary complexity. 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.

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.
