Re: GNOME's logo been incorrectly used

Hi,

think any licenses assigned without permission by the copyright holder

wild? I'd think the copyright holder should know how it has been
licensed with permission.

If, for example, the GNOME foot (which is in the wiki) were released to
one person by the original author under by-sa or fdl, and then
redistributed from there, we'd be SOL.

If, for example, the foot's creator never did such a thing, but someone
else marked the foot file as CC by-sa or fdl, and then that got shipped
around, then the original author could certainly ask for correction.

Is it not The GNOME Foundation who owns the copyright to the logo? I
thought the author of the foot logo image provided the artwork as a
part of a contest.

No - as far as I know, the foot is copyright jimmac. jimmac can confirm.

Cheers,
Dave.
