All,
(I have cross-posted this to the Dev list as recently there had been some discussion over licensing and to ensure that this gets the appropriate visibility by interested people. If you respond to this post could you please move it to the boost-docs list.)
To assist with the revamp of the look and feel for the Boost Documentation project (http://tinyurl.com/2uxfut) that Matias is currently spearheading I am trying to find SVG icons that are licensed under a Creative Commons style license (the icons I am currently recommending are specifically licensed under the "Create Commons Attribution Share-Alike license" http://tinyurl.com/aj2s6).
From reading through the archives and the recent thread about the current status of licensed code within Boost and reading the link off the boost home page for the Boost Software License (http://tinyurl.com/2xood5). It appears that the preference is for all code and documentation to be licensed under the BSL.
Rather than risk proposing icons that are not licensed appropriately and then find that the license type was not acceptable I thought I would solicit feedback first.
I have two questions for you to answer:
The first question is: Would image files be "required to" or "the preference is" use the BSL.
Given that until now we have used the stock Docbook XSL icons, which decidedly aren't BSL, I don't think we can afford to be too fussy. Just my 2c worth. John.
