>feel free to use any of my images from >http://simarilius.deviantart.com/gallery/ > >Cheers > >John Of course despite my having pointed out the problems with the GPL, all you need is for the image creator to say "You may use them in the article", and the GPL restrictions no longer apply, because the right to redistribute doesn't apply either. That is, in effect, a licence to use them in the article under normal copyright. __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Technical Consultant __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.

Hi, I noticed Print Direct disappears, so are you planning any neat print dialog with preview? It is long time needed feature. Is it able to set any printing preferences before just print? Michal

> >This was done with Effect->Interpolation. > File->Inkscape Preferences->Misc->Enable script effects [x] Thanks - how do I get this option to actually do anything? I selected both shapes and invoked the effect, nothing happened. I deleted the bottom group and tried the effect with nothing selected, and with just one object selected, and with both selected, nothing. In other news I have found a minor bug, do I report it here or should I join another list? __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Technical Consultant __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.

3D drawings
by George Reilly 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

SVG seems to be primarily (completely?) oriented towards 2D. In the logo at http://www.thewheel.biz/, I faked 3D by cloning the ring and the star, and drawing the clones at a slight offset, in a different color. A drop shadow, in other words. Is there a better way to achieve a 3D look? --

Emanuel Glitia: >As far as I understand it wouldn't mean that. Afaik you can use >any open source program to create content and then you are free >to use that content in any way (eg. use gimp or blender to create >content that you sell comercially even) Open Source is different from GPL. The GPL has requirements such as providing access to the 'preferred source for modification' of any GPL material that is distributed. Open Source just means that the source code was at some point made available, but the requirement to keep it available is not as strict as with the GPL. This, of course, varies from one Open Source licence to another. Technically the GPL is an Open Source licence, but not all Open Source licences are as strict as the GPL. Like Communism is a form of Socialism, but not all Socialist systems are Communist. There, mentioning Communism in the same paragraph should annoy the GPL fans! (I'm a GPL fan, by the way, but it isn't appropriate for doccumentation. For that I prefer the CC_by_sa licence.) __________________________________________________ Phil Hibbs | Capgemini | Rotherham Technical Consultant __________________________________________________ This message contains information that may be privileged or confidential and is the property of the Capgemini Group.
