| == Thinking About Buttons ==

| Hi. Just an idea about the buttons: Please make it more international, by using symbols instead of text (like Attribution, Share-Alike). Regards--[[User:77.234.80.162|77.234.80.162]] 23:18, 16 February 2007 (CET) | | Hi.

| The buttons, in my opinion, still need a little more work. What we need to do is provide some HTML through which people can include the buttons on their sites. This HTML needs to include a link to the button, which is easy enough, but it should also include the necessary RDF and a link, somewhere back to the deed on the CC site. This should be, I think, in ''addition'' to the link to a license-specific page in our wiki. I'm thinking what we should do is create an image map with a small area (it could even just be a couple pixels) that links to the CC site and the rest can link to us.
| | Should we avoid duplicating Creative Commons work? - and focus on icons for free/libre content? - e.g. CC-By and Public Domain are arguably non-free/libre - as both allow derived works (such as translations and localisations) to be released under more restrictive licenses.

| There is [http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-community/2007-February/001569.html a thread] that happened on the [http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-community/ CC-Community mailing list] that is worth reading over first. The thread also raised some interesting issues about about using the CC icons instead of the letters which I definitely think we should do. If someone can help with the the new buttons, I could probably sit down and hack out some sort of solution in terms of the image maps. [[User:Benjamin Mako Hill|Benjamin Mako Hill]] 22:22, 8 April 2007 (CEST) | | : I strongly disagree. There is no higher degree of freedom than the absence of copyright. To argue that the works of Shakespeare are not ''libre'' because they are not under a copyleft license is bizarre to me. This is also in line with the [[definition]], which permits copyleft, but does not require it.--[[User:Erik Möller|Erik Möller]] 15:45, 5 March 2007 (CET) |

| I see that the main logo and first set of buttons are PD but the rest have no license info. Am I just to assume they are CC-BY-2.5? --[[Special:Contributions/76.102.125.125|76.102.125.125]] 19:25, 1 May 2010 (UTC) | | I see that the main logo and first set of buttons are PD but the rest have no license info.

| I wonder if the process stipulated that submitted logos and buttons should be PD since the section [[Definition#Identifying_Free_Cultural_Works|Identifying Free Cultural Works]] in version 1.1 of the definition indicates so ([[User:KTucker|K]] ([[User talk:KTucker|talk]]) 18:47, 31 December 2014 (EST)):

| The logo says it is public domain, which deals with copyright, but what is the trademark status of the logo. I notice that http://freeculture.org is now using this logo also, and I expect other similarly aligned organisation/communities are also using it.

| :Hi, I'm the author of the logo you're using. Sorry I went AWOL for a while, don't really know how I can help. Maybe releasing it under a Creative Common license would solve your trademark issue? --[[User:Mfalzon|Mfalzon]] ([[User talk:Mfalzon|talk]]) 03:51, 26 September 2013 (EDT)

| :: Copyright protection (which is solved by Creative Commons licensing) and trademark protection are two separate issues.
| |
| :: However, I don’t think the logo is considered a registered trademark by anyone. But IANAL. You might try to ask one of the [[Moderators]].

| | |
| Is there a way to fix the problem of the thumbnails throwing errors? --[[User:Guerillero|Guerillero]] ([[User talk:Guerillero|talk]]) 14:41, 1 November 2013 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| Almost none of the images and thumbnails on this page work. Only the 17 License Classification icons show up. Not a single useable logo or license mark works. Can this be fixed? [[Special:Contributions/50.50.223.229|50.50.223.229]] 11:02, 10 October 2014 (EDT)

| == Minimalist SVG Design ==
| |
| I made an SVG design. It was made from scratch. I thought the current logo was tacky, and it scaled poorly, I tried to do something cooler with it. I'm not allowed to upload the image on the wiki so I uploaded it here.

| == About Terry Logos ==
| |
| | |
| Hello!
| |
| I want to tell you, that I want to use Terry's logos, but I don't know the license of them.
| |
| If he was American, I could use it in public domain. But, he was German, I don't know if geometric shapes can be protected.
| |
| I want to use it in one of my works.
