Hi Tony, I posted an email the other day with the vote tally, but maybe it was to the wrong alias. Anyway, I voted yea as well, and so we have a majority in favor, and the issue can now be closed. Thanks, Bryce
Yes; I hadn't seen your email at the time I replied to the thread. Bradley has since brought me up to speed. Thanks!
As a next step, the adopted policy should be posted as a new page on the Inkscape.org website. I'd also recommend creating another Q & A under Section 8 ("Legal") of the Wiki FAQ that points visitors to the trademark policy page. Once the policy page is live, I can engage the company that was using the Inkscape trademark.
Josh, can you forward these new requirements to the website guys to implement?
Now, we still have an open issue re: the ownership of the copyrights in the mountain graphic logo. Given that we've been struggling to compile a complete list of copyright owners in the mark, I recommend that we do the following:
- Publish the TM policy on the website in the manner described above.
- Send a notice of the new TM policy to various Inkscape community
user groups and fora (e.g., inkscape-user, inkscape-announce, Inkscapeforum.com, etc.). In the notice, declare our intent to license the copyrights to the logo under CC-By-SA 3.0 US, and give any copyright holders 60 days to step forward and object.
The TM policy (including the section re: logo usage) will be in effect during that 60-day period, but we'd always reserve the right to discuss changing the copyright license if a copyright holder were to step forward and object.
I can provide draft language for the notice. Let me know what else I can do to help the committee finalize the process.
This all sounds fine with me. Ted, IIRC you were the one that got the ball rolling initially on this; can you review and close the loops on any follow up tasks to notify the community and so on?
Bryce
Best, -Tony

As of very recently, SF moved the repo where the web stuff was stored and broke the back-end for the website. We're in the middle of getting a replacement up to snuff and I will get it on there prior to launch.
Cheers, Josh

That sounds good. Let's get it on the website first and then start talking about it. I think we've got some good cases for why it's needed and what our goals are. But, we should link to it :-)

Hi, sorry to resurrect this old thread, but just wanted to check back again on where we are with it. I know updating the website has probably been blocked due to the new site development, but hopefully that should be live shortly. Ted, can you make sure something's included about this in the new website, and draft up an announce for the mailing list?
Are there any other tasks needed to bring this project to completion?

I couldn't find anything on the new website for it. Asking to make sure that it wasn't just me being daft, if it's not there I'll patch it.
