Here's my thoughts: * Some of the content will be written/created by LPM (possibly all of the content). Accordingly, I don't think we get much say in how they use it, aside from the normal trademark usage considerations. * For anything that Fedora owns, we should be sure it is available under acceptable licensing terms, but for things like screenshots, I doubt there is much concern, as that sort of thing is rather ubiquitous. * I think ultimately, if Fedora contributors end up authoring content for this magazine, they should do so under licensing terms that they are comfortable with, but I don't think it is necessary to mandate it. ~spot _______________________________________________ Fedora-legal-list mailing list Fedora-legal-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legal-list
