Mister Bill- Thank you for paying such attention to the License side.
You are totally right about the license part of a work which is important to protect people, use of work and derivative work. The license used in the COPYING file is now GPL v3. -------- Original Message -------- From: bill-auger <[email protected]> Sent: December 25, 2017 1:10:20 PM GMT+01:00 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Trisquel-devel] New Trisquel 8 development images ben - the license of the trisquel logo is GPLv3 or later which means that derivative works must also be licensed GPLv3 or later - that is stated plainly on the page that is linked to in the AUTHOR(S) file in that repo (https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/logo) - but the COPYING file in that repo is GPLv2 which is incompatible with GPLv3 please dont me angry at me for pointing this out - i am glad to see artists using the GPL and providing sources as thoroughly as you do and think you have the best intentions at heart - but you really must pay closer attention to the specifics of the licenses of the source materials that you borrow from - this is not my personal opinion just to be a dick or put you down in any way - this is a plain issue of copyright laws and anything short of complete compliance with them puts not only yourself at a risk but also those to whom you are offering to help i do not intend to discourage you in any way - i really hope you continue making artwork for free software but i simply must again point out that it THE number 1 defining ideal of the libre distros such as parabola and trisquel to be in full compliance with copyrights and free software licenses - their artwork and artists simply must be held to that same standard as their software developers in order to promote a good example for the community -- -- Ben Gailly www.techtux.be _______________________________________________ Trisquel-devel mailing list [email protected] https://listas.trisquel.info/mailman/listinfo/trisquel-devel
