Licenses for Images

[stefanCCS]

@stweil:
As PR6110 has now a defined (minimal context) and #1301 now has focus about (potential) new license headers in the source files, I would like to follow up the discussion about licensing images, which you have started in #1301.
Can you put here references, links or similiar, to the images we talk about ? (where are these image in this RePo)
So, that I can take for discussion in KITODO-Board?

[stweil]

See the images directory for the most important images, especially the Kitodo logo with variations and parts. The logo should have a license which is compatible with Wikipedia (Commons) and with publications, for example presentations. Therefore I suggest to use CC BY 4.0 (Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International) for it.

Some UI images are also part of the repository. These images are very simple. I don't know whether they need a special license, too. But as part of the UI, it might make the handling easier.

Focusing on the Kitodo logo and adding a license remark for it (also on https://www.kitodo.org/community/logo-und-praesentationen where an additional SVG variant could be nice) would be sufficient for now in my opinion.

Many thanks for this explanantion. I will clarify this within the KITODO-Board.
Might need a bit of time. We will have our next meeting end of march (I hope it is not that urgent?).

I wrote the original issue in 2018, so if the question will be answered within the next months, this is really fast and not much additional delay. :-)

[stefanCCS]

Clarification process within @kitodo/kitodo-board has started, but not finalized yet.
I will keep you updated.

[stefanCCS]

@kitodo/kitodo-board decided: Kitodo-Logo can be licensed under CC BY 4.0.

@stweil : How to go on with this topic?

[stweil]

Thank you for the clarification. This allows using the logo on Wikipedia!

Ideally the license should be documented on the kitodo.org website (at https://www.kitodo.org/community/logo-und-praesentationen).

[stefanCCS]

Ok, I will clarify this.

@stweil
Here
https://www.kitodo.org/community/logo-und-praesentationen
the license is now documented:
"Das Logo kann benutzt werden unter Beachtung der Lizenz: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ "

--> is this enough? (or anything else to be considered?)

[stweil]

That's perfect – many thanks!

[stefanCCS]

Ok, I will close this discussion now (@stweil : Feel free to re-open it, if needed, or just create a new one).

The logo was now added to Commons and Wikidata, and it is shown in the German, English and Macedonian Wikipedia.
