Hi Paul,

The image for the Arduino Control menu was taken from the GNOME Extension site. I didnt get any special permissions for it. The bottom of the extensions site shows the copyright license as CC-BY-SA, so I thought it would be safe to use.

The developer of the extension does not have the image on his page https://github.com/simonthechipmunk/arduinocontrol/blob/master/README.md so I'm not sure who took that screenshot.

I feel to be on the safe-side maybe we should remove that image. I want to avoid the magazine having any issues regarding copyrighted material. The extension is customizable so it may look different depending on the developer's project and because of that it shouldn't break the consistency of the article.

All the other screenshots I did myself so those images are good.

Regards,

Shaun Assam

I think the articles on the magazine are CC-BY-SA, according to https://fedoramagazine.org/terms-and-conditions/ -- Shaun, did you get a special dispensation for that screenshot in the article? If not we should probably axe it to be compliant. If you were able to get the creator to give you an additional CC-BY-SA license for our use, that would also be fine. I noticed you wrote "CC-SA-BY" in the article which I just saw and should probably fix based on answers here. On the other hand, if I've mistaken our T&C above, happy to be wrong if we don't need to worry about it.
