Since you have been doing the page, I thought to leave it up to you. If there is no danger of the site area going away, we could just link to it. If that (might) be to much traffic and onShore would prefer to see it mirrored, putting it into www.d.o/logos/ would be better. > Also, Raul was asking me what license he should put the images under. > Is GPL appropriate? Or is just Public Domain the best for this stuff? > I might not be in the popular thought here, but I would prefer to see them Public Domain'd. The reason? If they are installed in a page that isn't licensed the same, They would need attribution on every page (or in the gif) of who owns the copyright... atleast technically. Also, licenses really have to be policed to keep them valid. If someone can point out to a license that you knew was being violated and didn't do something about it, it makes your case for upholding the copyright harder (this exists for all Intellectual Property). If the art is public domain'd, it removes any need to keep track of who's keeping the license. -- Please cc all mailing list replies to me, also. * http://benham.net/index.html <gecko@benham.net> <>< * * Debian: Software in the Public Interest: * * Project Secretary Treasurer * * Webmaster Team * * BTS Team siteROCK: * * Lintian Team Linux Infrastructure Engineer *
