logon section
Wednesday, August 28, 2002 by migellito | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
hi 
just to let everyone know, we'll be starting to moderate the logon section much like the wallpaper section. the results probably won't be quite as stringent, but will be somewhere in the same neighborhood. just as an example, the majority of 'straight-off' photos won't make posting, though some exceptional ones still would. as always, submissions must be the original work of the submitter, unless express written permission is included.
thanks

how are the policies on Linux artwork that was released under the GPL? modifying and redistribution is allowed by the GPL but still requires credit given to the original author.

how about the GPL thing? as i said above, redistributing and modifying is allowed, but still requires credit. also the derivative artwork needs to be put under the GPL as well.

is using a penguin by Everaldo Coelho http://www.everaldo.com/crystal/
there is no credit, neither in the description nor in a readme file. also there is neither a mention of the GPL nor a copy of the GPL included in the downloadable file.
i mean, i know Everaldho´s fantastic work, but millions of others don´t. so Everaldho in my eyes needs to get the credit he deserves, especially if he is so kind and gives away his art free to modify. it´s the law as well.

i think the problem with those is that the author has used the same filename for all the different previews :/
