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.
From this options I'd like 3. I'm newbie in the legal questions. What I should ask ?
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.

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.

So beastie is resolved. Copyright owner gave exception. Rest is still on the way.

I've emailed Theo DeRaadt to see if he will give permission.
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.
Great, so closing then. Thanks a lot, Tom!
