Copyright Question
Hi there, I'm not very skilled in searching on your side and looking at the FAQs I didn't find the answer I was lookind for, so I hope you don't mind me sending you an email! I really like this bird you've got for a symbol and would like to suggest it as a smilie for my favourite internetplatform. You find it under www.comicforum.de, it is about comics and books and music, nothing strange or illegal or anything. But because you allways have to be carefull about Copyright, I wanted to ask if it is allowed to use your bird - the pidgin - as a smilie there. I mean, I found a lot of banners on your page, maybe we could use one of those? But I want to make sure, because it is allways best to ask for permission before using something that belongs to someone else! :-) Thank you very much for your time!

Stefanie aka Felina Noctis I don't think we have an official policy about things like this. How do people feel about allowing this as long as the logo is used as a reference to Pidgin? So for example, if you type :pidgin: to insert the smilie then it's fine. But it's not ok to type :purple bird: or :bird: or :im: And somewhere you would probably want to include the text The Pidgin logo is copyright Instant Messaging Freedom, Inc. 2006 (is that right? Who holds the copyright to our logo?) -Mark ___ Support mailing list Support@pidgin.im http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
