Description mejiko 2013-10-18 13:08:36 UTC
Hello.

supertuxkart included non-free karts.
This is "Adiumy", "emule" and "beastie".

"Adiumy" (Adium logo) and "emule" (emule logo) logo license is GPL. (I think). but this karts is CC-BY-SA, Its license incompatible.

URI:

http://sourceforge.net/p/emule/code/ci/default/tree/res/
https://github.com/adium/adium/tree/master/Resources/Dock%20Icons/Adiumy%20Green.AdiumIcon


"beastie" is BSD Daemon, but BSD daemon copyright license is non-free, because very very restrictive.


URI:

http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/daemon.html
http://www.mckusick.com/beastie/mainpage/copyright.html


Suggests:

1. Remove non-free karts and rebuild.

2. Relace fedora free (Fedora Acceptable licensed) karts.

3. contact copyright author.

4. Remove Fedora repos.


Thanks.

Blocking FE-Legal, This is license problem.

Comment 2 Igor Gnatenko 2014-01-11 06:40:31 UTC
From this options I'd like 3.

I'm newbie in the legal questions. What I should ask ?

Comment 3 Tom "spot" Callaway 2014-01-22 20:13:34 UTC
With regards to the BSD daemon, you (or upstream) need to ask Marshall Kirk McKusick <mckusick> for his permission to use the daemon artwork. He'll probably grant it.

For the emule and adium carts, there are no trademarks in play and the kart artwork does not appear to be copied from the logo art in those applications. 
Combined with the relative age of these cases (almost 10 years now), I do not think these are a concern.

Comment 7 Tom "spot" Callaway 2015-12-07 14:44:54 UTC
Igor, either remove the BSD kart or ask for permission from the artist (Marshall Kirk McKusick <mckusick>) for us to use it in this game.

Where did you found this? trying to find it too.

Tom, have opinion on puffy?

Comment 16 Tom "spot" Callaway 2017-12-04 16:15:52 UTC
I've emailed Theo DeRaadt to see if he will give permission.

Comment 17 Tom "spot" Callaway 2017-12-04 16:54:04 UTC
Okay. Theo is:

* not the copyright holder on this work (nor is he claiming a copyright on the design)
* not interested in "enforcing a trademark against someone else's work"

I also just found this ticket, where the copyright holder and licensing information for the puffy kart is established:

https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code/issues/2630

Given that there are no copyright or trademark concerns, and the licensing (CC-BY-SA) is okay for Fedora, there is no issue with inclusion of the "puffy" kart.

Comment 18 Igor Gnatenko 2017-12-04 16:55:57 UTC
Great, so closing then.

Thanks a lot, Tom!
