Agreed. If I wasn't clear the first time, I did not mean to suggest to add a file named LICENSE* in the same directory as the images.

This would be confusing for the reason Ted also mentioned. I concur with his suggestion of "README" :)

I think a README would be a better name for the explanatory file.

Thanks!

I haven't found a metadata editor that works yet, so I'll just add a
LICENSE.txt file to the directory.  Hopefully that's enough.

I just added several png files to the source tree of our podling.  I

as
Apache licensed?


I'm not sure of a good way to track this. I'm not sure if png supports
arbitrary metadata which could be edited. Some ways I've seen used
elsewhere to try to better propagate license/ownership:

* Comments on the issue-tracker issue that introduced them citing
origin/source (typically for images that are copied, not created)
* Entry in LICENSE/NOTICE (shouldn't be done unnecessarily, of course)
* A README in the same directory with relevant info

If the images are of the podling's creation, I wouldn't be particularly
worried. The copyright notice on your source-release and LICENSE are
sufficient to inform downstream consumers.

Probably not the answer you're looking for, but hope it helps :)
