About dealing with logo and trademarks (example) this projects moved from an uncertain "public domain" to 3-clause BSD license, then the Python code turned to be re-licensed under GPL v2. First of all, I did NOT have had to "evangelize" the original author in order to move toward an uncertain licensing state toward open-source and free software licensing. I suppose because my contribution to the project development and my explanation about the advantages in re-licensing was enough.
https://github.com/robang74/cloudflare-warp-gui-linux?tab=readme-ov-file#license-terms At the end of the README.md, there are two sections about licensing and debianizing. In which, I am explaining that the project contains some images for which the distribution and/or use might be restricted because they are related to CloudFlare company but because those images and icons are strictly used ONLY in conjunction with their service, I am considering their usage a "fair use" case. This arbitrary decision is on me, obviously. In the case such software would be packaged into a .deb in order to be added to Debian, it would be refused or moved to an external repository. Because of this, today I modified the installation and the python script in order to use a 'free' images set everytime the 'orig' images set is not available. In this way, all the stuff that will raise some concerns can be removed without making the software stop working. Someone might wonder why I am still using the images related to CloudFlare company once I created my one set. I can easily imagine that someone PoV receiving a cease-and-desist letter from a big US company is something they wish to avoid like a stomachache. Please, tell me if something like this prevents you from collaborating with me or using a software from me, because I hardly feel threatened by that kind of problem. LOL Best regards, R-
