Legally*, I don't believe we can do this without the explicit permission of all contributors. Neither can we attribute copyright to KDE e.V. as on page 38 - I never transferred my copyright to KDE e.V. (though I would be happy to). So, what are our options? Well, copyright is automatically with the creators in most countries, so making no mention of copyright at all does not mean that there is not any. We can add a notice later once we have full agreement. An alternative is 'Copyright 2011, contributors' particularly since they are listed on page 2. Do any of the images included prevent us from taking this approach? Sorry to be a pain at this late stage :-( If this has to be done now - then just do it and ignore me. I don't think we need to worry about one of the contributors causing problems about copyright. These rights only matter when the holders are minded to enforce them :-) If I can make one more request - on p39 could "KDE Desktop Suite" change to just "KDE" or "KDE Software"? What is the KDE Desktop Suite? Ultimately of course, we should have the booklet under a CC license (CC-by-sa probably) to make future revisions, translations easier. But right now, we need to have lots of printed copies for FOSDEM, allowing further distribution is not necessary right now. And, in future, we should get prior agreement on any shared docs about copyright assignment (to KDE e.V.?) or acceptable licenses on the work we produce, much like happens in the wiki. Cheers, Stu * from a few years working at the UK Intellectual Property Office - I don't claim to be a copyright expert. _______________________________________________ This message is from the kde-promo mailing list.
