[Libreoffice-ux-advise] Symphony Clip Art

2013-02-05 Thread Samuel Mehrbrodt

Hi,

Lotus Symphony has replaced the Gallery Clip Art with some really nice 
and modern Images. You can get them as ZIP from here [1].
As Symphony is available under the Apache License [2] , I suggest to 
include these Clip Art Icons in LibreOffice.


Here's a comparison:


LibreOffice Clip Art
Symphony Clip Art
Images #
270
520
Average Size/Image
2,1kB
37,5kB
Total Size
568,8kB
19,5MB
Format
gif
png


As you see, that would increase the size by ~19MB. Some of the Symphony 
Images are very large, the size could be reduced a bit by resizing 
those. Best would be of course, if we can get the SVG files, but I have 
not seen them anywhere.


What do you think about this?

Samuel

Symphony is NOT available under Apache license.  instead of the standard
ALv2 license header one expects from an ASF project, many of the files
have headers that read:

> * Licensed Materials - Property of IBM.
> * (C) Copyright IBM Corporation 2003, 2011.  All Rights Reserved.

therefore i would recommend not looking at Symphony code and/or image at
this time until such a time as the copyright holder clears up this
unhelpful situation.

 michael

Hi Samuel,

I don't know, whether it is legal to use the AOO trunk. But if you wait 
till AOO 4.0 is released, you will get them without license problems. 
And more important, Armin has changed a lot of them to svg, so you will 
get a high quality with small size. So no, do not use the Symphony 
gallery directly.


Kind regards
Regina

I just asked on the DEV list whether it is possible for LibreOffice to 
include the Symphony code.


And more important, Armin has changed a lot of them to svg, so you 
will get a high quality with small size. So no, do not use the 
Symphony gallery directly.



That's really nice - thanks for the hint. Hopefully all get converted.

For now I'll leave it, until the license situation is clear.
