Hi, Our GSOC student wants to include a PNG for a CWL logo (for representing CWL services within Apache Taverna), but the original logo is dual-licensed:
>From https://github.com/common-workflow-language/logo/blob/master/LICENSE.md > The Common Workflow Language Logos are (C) Copyright 2016 the Common Workflow > Language Project and are released under the terms of the GNU Lesser General > Public License, version 3 or any later version, or, at your option, of the > Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved#cc-sa says: > Unmodified media under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.5 and > Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 licenses may be included in > Apache products, subject to the licenses attribution clauses which may > require LICENSE/NOTICE/README changes. For any other type of CC-SA licensed > work, please contact the Legal PMC. So I guess our best option is to use it under CC-SA 3.0 - but as LGPL 3.0 in this case is not effectively incompatible with ASF license either direction (it's easy to replace a PNG file in a JAR) - I don't see a reason why we have to remove that dual-license choice for downstream users? That is - my question is - are we fine in NOT specifying which of the two licenses we choose to distribute the PNG under? (This would allow for instance a GPL 3.0 downstream project to embed our code AND the logo without re-sourcing it from upstream) Here's our student's proposed modifications to append to our project's LICENSE: https://github.com/apache/incubator-taverna-common-activities/pull/21/files I assume we don't need to also modify our NOTICE file? Am I correct in this understanding? Or should we do something more, e.g. cwl-logo-header.txt file next to the PNG or adding to the README? BTW - I have raised an issue upstream about the attribution as "Common Workflow Language Project" does not seem to be a legal copyright holder: https://github.com/common-workflow-language/logo/issues/2 ..I guess for now we should respect their current (C) statement.
