Non-free image

edit

Hi there. I liked your new user box design, but I couldn't help noticing that it uses a non-free image, in this case a copyrighted logo. Unfortunately copyrighted logos can't be used in user boxes, as it doesn't constitute "fair use". You will probably find the logo deleted from the user box in the next few days by some bot that hunts for these things. I would suggest that you find a new image for the user box, perhaps a newly drawn image that is generally similar, but not identical, to the logo. The faux-Ubuntu logo used in the user box {{User OS:Ubuntu}} is a good example of one way of dealing with this problem. - Ahunt (talk) 19:57, 24 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Just did a little investigating, and it's part of KTorrent, which is licensed under the GPL, so this would be too (I think). Image has been re-tagged as GPL. — SheeEttin {T/C} 23:21, 25 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Yes that is true, if the application is free software then the logo would be too, great solution! - Ahunt (talk) 01:06, 26 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
