I'm sure Mark will speak up if this concerns him, but I'll at least raise what I understood to be the last legal word on the CC, "Not without a warranty protection." IANAL, TINLA, just reporting on my understanding of acceptable Fedora Project licenses. Which makes perfect sense to me, BTW. Don't ask how art can put a company at warranty risk, people have creative ways of litigating in this country. We're a little jammed, though, in that there is not a good enough art license. The OPL is book specific, although perhaps if we put the reference paragraph in the image metadata itself? I'm glad we don't maintain our own OSI-compliant license, like everyone else does when they get in this jam. Can we work with Creative Commons to get the warranty provision resolved, or have them create a new license, CC-BY-SA-NW (no warranty)? - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
