| bkerensa | slangasek: is there rules surrounding the inclusion of image files in debian packages that are trademark/copyright protected? | 17:46 |
|---|---|---|
| slangasek | trademark and copyright are two different things | 17:47 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: yes but both can protect a brand/image | 17:47 |
| bkerensa | a image can be protected by copyright and also trademarked | 17:47 |
| bkerensa | I ask because the Facebook Core App has a Facebook logo bundled in | 17:47 |
| bkerensa | and is copyright Facebook Inc. and Trademark them | 17:47 |
| slangasek | sure | 17:47 |
| bkerensa | yet its not an official app being made by them | 17:47 |
| slangasek | and under trademark law, this is arguably nominative use | 17:48 |
| slangasek | as for the copyright, that would depend on the copyright license | 17:48 |
| bkerensa | In this case Canonical has licensed the entire source package under the GPLv3 and claims ownership of all the files | 17:49 |
| bkerensa | http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-facebook-dev/ubuntu-facebook-app/trunk/view/head:/debian/copyright | 17:49 |
| bkerensa | including the Facebook logo | 17:49 |
| slangasek | bkerensa: that's really an entirely separate question from whether it's legitimate to include the icon in the package; in all cases the artwork should of course have the correct copyright listed in debian/copyright | 18:24 |
| thefinn93 | bkerensa: ping | 19:09 |
