Re: [gnome-love] License of images

[Adam Dingle <adam medovina org>]

If GNOME did have such a policy and it affected the gnome-games images, I believe it would have to mention that policy in the LICENSE file or elsewhere inside the gnome-games distribution.  (But once again, I am not a lawyer.  :)  )

I totally agree, I checked all these things and the only license I found is "GPLv2 or later", which is prefect. I just want to make sure. Maybe Gnome has some policy for the license of images, I don't know. On א', 2013-05-19 at 15:21 -0004, Adam Dingle wrote:

Anatoly, the source code to Gnome Mines is here: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-mines/tree/ In its home directory it has a COPYING file containing the GPL v2: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-mines/tree/COPYING The 'data' directory, which contains the icons, has no other licensing information: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-mines/tree/data The About box has a License button that displays this text: Mines is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. I am not a lawyer, but given everything above I personally would not hesitate to use any of the gnome-mines icons in a GPLv3 project. adam On Sun, May 19, 2013 at 10:57 AM, אנטולי קרסנר <tombackton gmail com> wrote: > Hello, I'm writing a free software (GPLv3) "mine sweeper" game for > homework in Java, and I'd like to use icons from Gnome Mines (and > mimic its user interface).
