Re: [mantisbt-help] Use of logo/imagery

[P Richards]

My take on this would be that Mantis is currently distributed under the GPL 
license (https://github.com/mantisbt/mantisbt/blob/master/doc/LICENSE ), 
therefore the Logo is distributed under the GPL. Therefore, as long as your use 
of the logo (and/or Mantis) is compatible that’s fine ;)

 

This would include allowing you to modify the logo (as the GPL allows 
modifications provided you publish the source code to the modifications?)

 

Having said the above, I’m not sure how that then works with copyright? :)

 

However, as an aside, given we give the ability to brand mantis e.g. the config 
settings below, would you not prefer to use your own company image/logo on the 
bug tracker to represent your company?

 

/**

* Logo

* @global string $g_logo_image

*/

$g_logo_image = 'images/mantis_logo.png';

 

/**

* Logo URL link

* @global string $g_logo_url

*/

$g_logo_url = '%default_home_page%';

Subject: [mantisbt-help] Use of logo/imagery

 

Hi,

This is a question that I asked on one of the forums: 
http://www.mantisbt.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2 
<http://www.mantisbt.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=22230> &t=22230.

I was advised to ask on the mailing list as well.

My company's website has a URL that our clients can go to and log into Mantis 
in order to log/track bugs.

On our homepage, is it permitted (from a legality point of view) to put a 
Mantis icon that users can click on in order to access this URL more easily?

Could I use this image for that purpose: 
http://www.mantisbt.org/images/mantis_logo_262x90.png.

Thank you.
