Last modified: 2013-09-22 20:18:51 EDT
Hello. mate-icon-theme-faenza included trademark'ed and non-free icons. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1005176 This is trademark/copyright problem. Its non-free. Suggests: 1. remove trademark'ed and non-free icons 2. replace fedora free (fedora acceptable licensed) icons. 3. remove fedora repos. Thanks.
Blocking FE-Legal, This is Trademark/copyright problem.

Wow OK I guess we should retire/block this based on the previous bugs.

Those applications are opensource and in fedora repos. (In reply to Dan Mashal from comment #4) > Wow OK I guess we should retire/block this based on the previous bugs. Why not removing those critical icons during rpm build process?
(In reply to Wolfgang Ulbrich from comment #5) > Why not removing those critical icons during rpm build process? Seems like more work than it's worth? We'd have to know exactly what is "trademarked" and what isn't?
In my opinion only icons from applications which aren't under a opensource licence, ie. skype, google, addobe, twitter, facebook, etc. and distributor-logos are critical to use in fedora.
There is a fedora-legal mailing list to clarify those questions.
I did send an email to fedora-legal-list to clarify the situation for another theme. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/legal/2013-September/002235.html @ mejiko And again, please explain why you think icons from opensource apps which are in fedora repos are a problem for you?
(In reply to Wolfgang Ulbrich from comment #9) > And again, please explain why you think icons from opensource apps which are > in fedora repos are a problem for you? Note: I am not a lawer. If opensource app icons is not trademark'ed, Its no problem (No trademark restriction). If opensource app icons is trademark'ed and permit freely using trademark (Fedora acceptable trademark license requirement), Its no problem. (E.g libreoffice, Fedora, Debian, etc...) but If opensource app icons is trademark'ed and not permit freely using trademark (Fedora unacceptable trademark license requirement), Its non-free, trademark problem. (E.g Ubuntu, Firefox, Gentoo, etc...) Thanks.
