I am a bit uncomfortable voting to approve an expenditure after-the-fact but the amount in question is relatively small and the need was urgent.
I'll vote A.

This is just a quickie ask to reimburse Martin for footing | the music license fee for our current release video. This is a | one-time cost, and not setting any precedent for future video costs, | or otherwise. | | | Those in the video discussion on GitLab wanted a more permissive | license for the new video music which would allow us to upload it | with the video assets, so they can be used freely under CC-BY-SA. | The decision was made in haste because the author of the music is | going on holiday and needs the money now, and our release is only | days away. | | | There are lots of things we can do to prevent this in the future, but | that's quite beside the point imho. This is an accidental cost that | was covered by Martin, and I think it's not too much of a one-off | ask to pay him back for it. | | | Please vote: | A. Reimburse 91 Euros to Martin for paying for a FOSS-friendly | license for the current video music track for the project's benefit. | B. Don't reimburse. | | | Note: In the future we will be using exclusively CC-BY-SA or better | from the beginning since we discovered that CC-BY-ND doesn't work | for remixing or uploading to gitlab. | | | Thanks! | _______________________________________________ | Inkscape Board of Directors mailing list -- | inkscape-board@lists.inkscape.org | To unsubscribe send an email to | inkscape-board-leave@lists.inkscape.org |
