>From the CC website: "If the work itself contains any copyright notices placed there by the copyright holder, you must leave those notices in tact, or reproduce them in a way that is reasonable to the medium in which you are re-publishing the work." The work itself (the .png graphic) doesn't contain any copyright notice, so IMHO you're not violating the license. http://wiki.creativecommons.org/FFAQ#How_do_I_properly_attribute_a_Creative_Commons_licensed_work.3F > > Cheers > Søren > > >> >>> >>> If we as a community can't respect the license imposed by people >>> inside our own community on artwork, how can we the expect others >>> respect the license of the software, that seems to be so central to >>> the whole Free Software movement? >> >> I totally agree with you on this. >> >> >>> >>> > It doesn't matter if it's code, artwork, literature or music; the >>> > author >>> > must always be acknowleged... just because they've made the software, >>> > book, >>> > web banner or song available to the public for free, does'nt mean they >>> > don't >>> > deserve to be acknowledged for their hard work. >>> > >>> > If I follow your logic correctly, we should be removing all the >>> > copyright >>> > notices from the software we use, because it takes more disk space and >>> > can >>> > become unhandy. >>> >>> In my other mail I specifically tried to argued that those two can't >>> be compared.
