it would be nice to have an official position from the scribus team on this matter. i've collected some links: http://www.chillingeffects.org/copyright/faq.cgi#QID809 they are copyrighted but everybody should be able to use it under fair use policy http://ask.metafilter.com/55616/Copyright-in-screenshots-Who-owns-it is a more lengthy discussion surely, the biggest problem is that copyright laws depend on the nation where the writer lives... the other big problem i could see, is that the scribus team may not be able to give any permission, before knowing how trolltech handles the copyrights on screenshotting their widgets :-) (i didn't find any notice on their web site) and if you are using native widgets from qt, you should also check the copyrights on the widgets from your OS. still, a clear word from the team would be helpfull (most of of all, if they officially say that you may freely use every scribus screenshot in a product related with scribus (exceptions could be made for using the scribus logo...)) ciao a?l?e
