Hi, I don't want to read texts I'm anyway unable to understand, because they are written in lawyer language, instead I prefer to read how to make a svg file look equal, what ever application is used to open the svg file. Assumed I should use the Ubuntu Studio logo from the ubuntustudio-icon-theme package, can I update the license? $ dpkg -l ubuntustudio-icon-theme|tail -n1|awk '{print $2" "$3}' ubuntustudio-icon-theme 0.16 $ grep CC-BY-SA /usr/share/doc/ubuntustudio-icon-theme/copyright License: CC-BY-SA-2.5 [ironic] If somebody should misuse a Creative Commons spray paint stencils, would the police in some countries knock on the doors of the copyright holders? [/ironic] Sharing art was much easier in the punk-rocking 80s. Still today I would make my own art public without a license. The other question was about meta data add by applications. I didn't miss a law that nowadays enforces us to mention the used tools to create a jpg, png, svg? For art I made in the past I never mentioned Canon AE-1 Program, DeVilbiss Aerograph "Super 63", Yamaha DX7, Yamaha SPX90II, Fender 150XL or what ever else was used. A wallpaper I already made without the Ubuntu Studio logo includes $ exiftool Pictures/moonstudio_wallpaper_1.png | grep Comment Comment : Created with GIMP because it's a default for GIMP. Is it just craving for recognition by the coders or do they help to fulfil laws? I never mentioned, if I used a Da Vinci Kolinsky or a No-name Kolinsky or if I used water-colours from Schmincke or not. My understanding is, that comments mentioning the software that was used can be removed. Namespace data for svg sometimes perhaps can't be removed, but I guess it's allowed to rename "Adobe" to "foo" and "Inkscape" to "bar". I'm serious! I've got concerns against all that sharing of data.</blockquote><div> </div><div>No one will make you share anything. Is that the question? How to make a file with no meta data? I think, it's safe to assume graphics are created and/or edited in a graphics manipulation program. Identifying said program really just does that. It identifies the tool. Advertising for said tool is a great reason. Maybe the developers of gimp would have more to offer on the decision to include metadata that identifies the tool. I'm +1 for leaving that identifying information in by default. I'm sure we can discuss constructively how to create a file in gimp or Linux, generally, without said identifiers. </div><div> </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Making art I don't have secret recipes, I'm willing to share all information, but I dislike to include advertising and privacy data to a file of a picture or song.
