GPLv3/L8R -- taking care of the graphics (was: GPLv3 status)

Hi, Many plain text GPLv2 or later files are now moved to GPLv3 or later. So I want to move on with the graphics files. We have some 300 files of this type so it is a significant contribution to the files remaining. Stephen> A copyright notice needs to say who owns it; we often have no Stephen> information about that for the images. For the etc/photos PNGs, I Stephen> guess we can assume copyright by the person who submitted Stephen> them. Stephen> The license notice, OTOH, says "this is part of XEmacs and Stephen> XEmacs is distributed under the GPL." Stephen> The risk is small; if some image author wants it out and Stephen> claims it was never licensed under GPL, we can do that (and Stephen> substitute a free icon). Lets se if I get this right: For the graphics files we can insert the normal license notice. "This file is part...". If an author claims we are wrong.[1] -- This file was never released under GPL, we drop it in favor of some other free icon either found or created? As for the copyright notices on the photos they should be set to the person shown on the picture. Who should be set as copyright owner on the other graphics? Nobody? The FSF? Yours -- %% Mats Footnotes: [1] We don't know who contributed most of the graphics do we so that we can ask? _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
