I originally spawned this thread with an observation regarding what I felt was inappropriate usage of boost logo. One can use any other logo he wants for any purpose he wants as far as I'm concerned. After all, it's still a free country. My only suggestion is that boost.org copyright the boost logo - ( Last time I looked - this cost $25 - its probably more now) and create a policy for its usage.
I don't think we need to do anything more than complete the .png metadata fields Dublin Core Entities: title, date, creator, publisher, holder of rights ... and chose a license, perhaps or for developing libraries http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ and perhaps for the Boost 'official' logo http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/ This can easily be done for .pngs and svgs with several tools, including Inkscape. A no-cost option ;-) Paul --- Paul A. Bristow Prizet Farmhouse Kendal, UK LA8 8AB +44 1539 561830, mobile +44 7714330204 pbristow@hetp.u-net.com
