Forum:Orain Logo: Difference between revisions

I have briefly discussed in IRC with [[User:Dusti|Dusti]], in IRC, the possibility of remixing the Orain logo for use on the [http://bot.orain.org BotWiki]. This issue was also raised in my original [[Proposals_for_new_wikis#BotWiki_.28Status:_Rights_Granted.29|wiki request]] and assent was given at that stage. I have emailed a draft of the remixed version to Dusti, giving full rights over my remix to Orain. If that remixed version could be uploaded to Commons by an Orain Steward, that would be helpful. Changing BotWiki's $wgLogo setting in LocalSettings.php could then be [[Request_features|requested]].

The Orain wiki farm has a general policy of not allowing users to upload images, preferingpreferring them to be uploaded to Commons. While this is a great idea, it leaves us users with the meddlesome burden of negotiating licensing issues with Commons. Technically, I cannot upload the Orain logo to Commons, because it is copyrighted to the creator of the image. In the [[:File:Orain.png#File_history|file history]] it shows that the original version was uploaded by Dusti with the comment ''"Orain logo designed by [[User:Dusti]]. Copyright © Orain. Not CC-BY-SA."'' Such a restrictive license doesn't allow for remixing, which prevents me from uploading my remixed version to Commons, even though assent was given [[Proposals_for_new_wikis#BotWiki_.28Status:_Rights_Granted.29|here]].

Also, I'd like to include the Orain logo as part of my common Editnotice page, similar to my Editnotice on MWFWMF projects (see [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:AugurNZ/Editnotice example]). To do this, I'd either need to be able to upload the Orain logo to all wikis in the Orain wiki farm (not likely to happen, right?) or access it from Commons.

What I'd like to see is a copy of the "official" Orain logo be uploaded to Commons by an Orain Steward to Commons. I would recommend the most restrictive license available from the Creative Commons stable, which would be the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported] (CC BY-NC-ND 3.0) license. That's just my suggestion, and I am no expert on these things. <span title="Meta-Wiki profile" class="plainlinks">[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:AugurNZ <font color="#000" face="Times">'''''Augur'''''</font><font color="#33f" family="Arial">'''''NZ'''''</font>]</span> <span title="Meta-Wiki talk" class="plainlinks">[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:AugurNZ <font color="#000" size="4">&#x2710;</font>]</span>[[Special:Contributions/AugurNZ|<font size="4" color="#000">&#x2315;</font>]] 22:30, 3 September 2013 (UTC)}}
