I really don't like the idea of having NoDerivs applied to Fedora
artwork as that seems to render it 'closed source' in a way. If other
artists would like to take NoDeriv-licensed wallpapers, 'remix' them,
and make them available, they cannot under the provisions of that
license. The rationale for the NoDerivs clause on any artwork that uses
the Fedora logo makes no sense to me. We're not licensing our code
'NoDerivs,' why would we want to license our artwork NoDerivs? It
doesn't protect the logo - it protects everything in the image but the
Fedora logo, case in point:

This all seems to be a sore topic though. How do we discuss this and
move forward with a solid policy? I think this is a very important step
for the Fedora Art team to grow.
I couldn't agree more.
If I am forced to publish my artwork as NoDerivs, then I prefer to put
it on my own website, with whatever license I want and let the Google
search decide what users get for 'fedora wallpapers' (for the time
being, my page is the first, 'I feel lucky', result).
