Description: A logo idea for KleanSweep (http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=28631)Last changelog:
On 20080908 I reuploaded the SVG, because the one on the server appeared to have some problems. 0.2 - gave outlines more contrast, resized, etc. 0.1 - first iteration, never uploaded
I want to use this logo as a part of a slide I am working on. How does the copyright work on this. Would somebody please advise me on this?
Thanks, Bahareh
Feel free to use it anywhere. The license is GPL, so it's very permissive. If you distribute it in any binary software (could include slideshow software), however, you have to make your the source files availabe in order to comply with the license. Though the license doesn't require it, I'd just personally like to request that you don't go around claiming to have created it yourself, like some guy called "Booyabazooka" at Wikipedia is apparently doing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ambox_style.png . I don't mind that the image is being used at Wikipedia -- far from it, I'm really happy about that. I'm just not too pleased this guy feels the need to claim he created "the vector version", when he didn't.
Hi gg3po. I am an admin at Wikipedia (although mostly retired), and a user there brought this to my attention. I know how you feel, people have "stolen" images from me too. I am sorry that we messed this up over at Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. We are now correcting the author information on your broom images at Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.
It will take some time before we have updated all of them, since your broom image is reused in so many other images there. (It is a very nice image!) For more on that see the discussion over at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_talk:Ambox_content.png#Please_correct_author_credit_on_this_logo
By the way: Booyabazooka never claimed to be the author of that image, he just uploaded it to Commons and then someone else later changed the description so it looked like he was the author. So it was a misunderstanding.
Oh, and I see that you uploaded the image as an svg here. But over at Wikipedia we first received this image as a png, and the other users think that then Booyabazooka made an svg version of it. I see that the svg version at Wikipedia differs slightly from the svg version here. Could you take a look at the Wikipedia svg and tell us if that is your old svg version, or in fact is a remake by Booyabazooka? (But it still is very much your design.) The best is if you respond over at Wikipedia, see the link above.

How can I download it? When I click the link I only get a white page with black text saying "image/svg+xml" (Konqueror).
Try right-click>Save Link As
Thanks, but I don't want to save download.php.
