</I>><i> > 4. general artwork licence
</I>><i> > --------------------------
</I>><i> > Our artwork needs to be licensed. Therefore we decided to have a general
</I>><i> > licence, which is valid for all work, that is not licensed especially. We
</I>><i> > decided to use the Creative Commons 3.0 with attribution, non-commercial
</I>><i> and
</I>><i> > share-alike. If there are any concerns over this license, please let us
</I>><i> > know.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Using Creative Commons licenses is an excellent option. But the
</I>><i> NC/Non-Commercial clause is a no-go. It makes the thing licensed
</I>><i> totally incompatible (in spirit and in detail) with FSF/OSI definition
</I>><i> of free software/open source - thus makes redistribution/derivatives
</I>><i> of the Mageia platform (and that's not what we want for the
</I>><i> distribution).
</I>><i>
</I>><i> CC-By-SA is perfectly acceptable on the other hand (that's what would
</I>><i> be the most like sort of a GPL translated for non-software works - and
</I>><i> we use it for the wiki).
</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>I dunno, something about doing lots of hard work for a good cause because we
want to, and then somebody else packaging it for profit? That rankles.
I realize that CC-By-SA is more to the spirit of GPL, but it still rankles.
Also, isn't Mageia a not-for-profit foundation? Who would redistribute the
artwork for profit? Other devels/artists? That's even worse!
The point of allowing commercial software to be GPL'd (as I understand it)
is to allow devels to profit from their hard work. But if we "work for" a
not-for-profit organization, and we don't want any profit from the work
anyway, then there's no point in allowing commercial redistribution!
