Sorry, the script is long since lost. Not too hard to do - I'd write one in Java or .NET because that's where my 2D drawing API experience is, but there's one for Python (PIL). Another refinement would be to detect images that are just whitespace (as commonly used in website layout) and leave them alone.. unless you can copyright a particular size of white bitmap. It would be even better if both the "copyright" images and the "copyleft" ones were in a separate branch, then you wouldn't be obligated to repeatedly merge your branch of LP sources instead of having the option to just pull ; although if you've customized the sources for your own use, I suppose merging is inevitable anyway. I've commented on the LP blueprint whiteboard for > https://blueprints.launchpad.net/turnkeylinux/+spec/create-launchpad-appliance as this would seem to be a point where community effort could be focused ; rather than having every external user of Launchpad have to commission their own bitmap set, perhaps they can contribute to a CC licensed set, visually distinct from the Canonical set, that everyone can use. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
