Re: [Chicken-users] Chicken logo license

Peter,

I used the Creative Commons licensing form that John Cowan suggested and placed 
the license texts within the image source directory:

http://joshuagriffith.com/chicken/logo/license.html
http://joshuagriffith.com/chicken/logo/license.txt

Will this work for you?

 I'd say one of the CC licenses would probably be the most
 straightforward, but I'd of course also like to know what others in
 the community think.
 
 Wikipedia is very restrictive in the types of licenses they allow:
 
 They don't accept works that don't allow commercial use or that forbid
 derivative works, so one of: CC0, CC-BY or CC-BY-SA would be fine.
 Using the Free Art license is also allowed.  Putting it in the public
 domain is also sort-of allowed. They don't allow GFDL-only licensed
 stuff anymore.
 
 Of course, if Wikipedia requires specific permission from me to upload the 
 logo, you have it.
 
 Thank you.  They're mostly concerned with redistribution and
 modification (remixing) by third parties though.
 
 The full story:
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Image_use_policy#Copyright_and_licensing
 
 Their docs are confusing, contradictory and just generally hairy.
 Sorry to drag you into this bullshit :(
 
 Cheers,
 Peter

Fantastic, thank you!

(You might want to put your name in the license.txt file too, BTW.
 This make attribution easier)

You can see the result here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_%28Scheme_implementation%29
Clicking on the logo gives you the full SVG image, which can be rescaled
at will for any other page.

Cheers,

 Hi all,
 
 I was looking at the wikipedia page on Chicken and noticed the logo is
 missing.  I wanted to upload it but Wikipedia is paranoid about its
 image uploads and wants absolute clarity about the license on the logo.
 
 So here is the question: what license does our logo fall under?
 
 Cheers,
 Peter

I'd recommend CC-BY-3.0.  This license is acceptable to
Wikimedia Commons, and it's close to Chicken's BSD license.  See

Makes sense.

did one more side version that's a bit more web 2.0 (possibly useful

I'll attempt to upload the pngs to the wiki.  If you want to fool

The format preferred for editing might be nice. Besides, svg can be
viewed in many contexts these days. I wonder if that web 2.0 icon
would scale down neatly into a default.ico for related webpages or

Everything was generated with Illustrator CS3.  The source directory  
is listed on the wiki.

Some SVG viewers do not render the top screen layer properly on the  
web 2.0-style image (instead, they treat it like a normal blend layer).

It looks like Illustrator exported the orange-brownish layer as an
image, png, 91x91, with jagged edges.  The SVG would look better if it
didn't do that.  (I'm looking at it with Inkscape.)

Anyway the rendered logos look awesome!

Just add some links, that'll be ok. I think I'm also going to check all
the logos we have so far into the repository. The stroked and colored
chicken is particularly nice. I envy the person who gets the next

Illustrator must have rasterized the drop shadows and inner-glows.   
I'll take a look at it and try to keep it from rasterizing.  Thanks.
