Talked to Billie about this -- trying to make sure I have the situation
correct. IMO, the question that needs to be answered is: who can assert
copyright ownership over the images.
Typically, copyright assertions are one of two entities: the individual
who created some "work" or a company which paid the individual to create
the work on their behalf.
From what I see, Robert David posted images from Susan Härtig, who both
work for Semantic Web. Thus, were these images created as a part of
Susan's professional responsibilities at Semantic Web Company? If so, a
CCLA from Semantic Web Company should be filed with the ASF. If not, an
affirmative statement from Susan (or a trusted member of Rya
acknowledging on Susan's behalf) would just be required, creating an
audit-trail of Susan's intent to grant ownership of these images to Rya.
Maybe Robert/Susan can comment? Or Adina, you can chase this offline?

Hi,
Does anyone know what (if anything) needs to be done to be able to
receive/use a logo designed by Susan/ Semantic Web Company?
Maybe our mentors can weigh in?
Thank you,
Adina
