Going forward, it would be best if every contribution is specifically licensed under a license, whichever it is. This issue lists license and attribution issues. This is only a partial duplicate of #17, #17 is where an actual license for the repository should be discussed.

The logo's license and attribution is known. Nix-dev mailing list, Sun Oct 2 08:49:55 CEST 2016.

Unknown original source

@lethalman

Gnome wallpaper

The wallpaper was first shared in issue #1.

The background used in the wallpaper seems to originate from a "common" wallpaper found on the web. I could not link it to an original FLOSS source. It is unknown if it is okay to re-distribute or remix.

No specific license or attribution

Ideally, we'd need these authors to specify a license under which the artwork can be used, and hopefully re-mixed. The contributions looked original enough to not cast any doubt about who the authors were. It is assumed the contributor is thus the author.

It looks like I forgot the logo.scad file, well I almost did. I'm assuming it is replaced by @Profpatsch in #20. If @offlinehacker wants to specify a license, it would be great, allowing us to document the older file's license.

The same applies for the older logo, I haven't made any work into finding the author or the license.

Sorry for the late reply, for #15 contents please set the license that fits the repo best. Public domain or any creative commons is fine.

Don't worry for the late reply; you're the first one to reply! And thanks for the reply!

@ericsagnes do you still have the original sources hanging around? It's a long shot, but this would help reviewing the wallpapers and/or making new variations.

@cillianderoiste @benley Any idea what license logo/nix-snowflake.svg has?

The file itself includes xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#" but i don't see the actual license.

I would like to use it in greenbone/gsa#1371.
