Currently the Sunbird logo and its associated artwork (Icons) is copyright by Mark Carson. It is not yet trademarked, but it probably will be in the future. Therefore we should provide free alternatives for free software distributions like Debian. Perhaps just a Calendar artwork without the surrounding Sunbird (similar to the way the free icons for Firefox are made). Mark, is that possible for you?

Refer to http://markcarson.com/MarkCarson/Asp/SunbirdLogo.asp for current statement regarding the Sunbird logo. My understanding is that the logo (unlike the theme) should not be triple licensed (MPL/GPL/LGPL) as this would reduce the branding rights of the Mozilla Foundation/Corporation. If the assertions on my website are inadequate, please have someone with the legal department of the Mozilla Foundation or Mozilla Corporation contact me directly: Mark Carson 94-444 Punono Street Mililani, HI 96789 USA Mark@MarkCarson.com 1-808-625-0443

Regardind calendar only logo (to avoid Sunbird trademark issues), yes this is very possible. I will prepare a calendar only logo in various sizes and will post on my website and will advise when completed (probably a couple of days).

Calendar Logo images, icons and trademark-free & MPL/GPL/LGPL statements are now completed on my website: http://markcarson.com/MarkCarson/Asp/SunbirdIcons.asp#calendar Feel free to upload into bugzilla any of the Calendar images/icons required. If additional items are needed, please let me know. Mark@MarkCarson.com

I have revised calendar logos and icons (PNG, PSD, ICO files) on my website, ready for check-in. These are the trademark free versions which can be with Debian, etc. http://markcarson.com/MarkCarson/Asp/SunbirdIcons.asp#calendar

Mark, maybe you can add some kind of bird to the triple-licensed calendar logos? Anyway, thanks for your commitment on this.
Comment 9•19 years ago
|

Alexander Sack's request to: "...add some kind of bird to the triple-licensed calendar logos" and Simon Paquet's original request: "...just a Calendar artwork without the surrounding Sunbird" are at odds. My understanding was that the calendar logo should follow along the lines of the community logo for Firefox (the object without the animal, the globe only for Firefox, the calendar only for Sunbird). I'm hesitant to create a calendar logo with a bird as it might be preceived as a 2nd generation Sunbird logo which would just confuse the trademark issue rather than clarify it.

Should this be closed now or is further work needed?
Comment 11•18 years ago
|
||
I would think so ... yes! Please add the free artwork to the build tree in such a way, that the non-free icons are replaced during build with the free ones unless you pass --official-branding. In addition, please make it easier for distributors to remove the trademarked artwork by placing all of it only under other-licesens/branding/sunbird. Of course, if all this is done already, feel free to close the bug!

Taking from Mark Carson to coordinate the task of getting these graphics in to the tree, and making Sb use _them_ by default. Thanks Mark for the icon!

My proposal to separate the tri-licensed (tri-li) and "trademarkable" branding elements is to create two new directories /mozilla/calendar/sunbird/base/branding - for all tri-li elements /mozilla/calendar/sunbird/base/officialBranding - for all trademarkable elements The "branding" dir follows what Ff and Tb are doing. This way, once MoFo gets the trademark stuff settled, the "officialBranding" could move to /mozilla/other-licenses/branding/sunbird easily. Mostafah indicated in IRC that this plan sounds okay, but it would be preferrable to move immediately to /mozilla/other-liceness... rather than move twice. He also requested signoff on the plan from mvl and dmose.

Until now the logo and the associated artwork has not been trademarked and I know of no plans to do so, since involves some legal work and money. I would definitely vote for plan A, i.e. moving to mozilla/calendar/sunbird/base/officialBranding first

United States Patent and Trademark registration costs start at $325 US (http://www.uspto.gov/teas/eTEASimportantnotice.htm#NoRefund). Mozilla Foundation/Corporation has some rights by simply using a non-infringing de facto trademark. Since I will only license the artwork (bird with calendar) to Mozilla, I can help enforce, via copyight law, that the logo is not used for other purposes/programs. So my suggestion is that, regardless of government trademark registration, that MoFo/MoCo treat it like the trademark it is and place the image files in an appropriate folder structure.

Tri-licensed "About" image
Note that current code expects this to be about-sunbird.png, not about.png.
r=jminta for these and other icons, but let's make sure we have a final decision about where they should go before checking them in. I don't want to be moving them around.

About credits footer image (white gradient with alpha so text "fades in")
In my testing, the words faded out a bit too high (under the icon itself). Not sure if that was by design but it looked a bit odd. Can you look into that? r=jminta with or without that though.

Matthew, while you are working on this: Could you create a high resolution png icon (non-branded and branded) too? Something similar to what is done in Bug 261679 for Firefox and Bug 262265 for Thunderbird.

So, i've talked with dmose and lilmatt. the idea is to make sure we are not loosing the sunbird trademark even before we get it. Also, we want to make sure that official builds are easy to reconize from contributers builds. So, i'm sold. Go for it.
