Re: [gNewSense-art] Re-Licensing Artwork.

[r. siddharth]

Howdy,

With the gNewSense 3.0 release around the corner, it'll be great if we
resolve and update the license statement (for documentation &
artwork) in the gNewSense website/wiki. The progress is tracked at 
RelicensingArtwork[1].

Here are the snippets of the discussion[2] we had before:

Period.

Artwork contributors -- Briareoh, Dave Crossland, Mariapc, have not 
responded yet. If we're going to change the licensing clause before they 
(the contributors) respond, then, we may move their respective artwork 
to a separate page, until they reciprocate to us about their 
approval/dis-approval of the re-licensing.

Period.

So how are we going to proceed from here ?

Thanks.
