[vorbis-dev] Ogg icons / glyphs -- use of copyrighted images?
Do we have a standard icon and/or glyphs identified for GUI-based
applications?
I'm adding Vorbis support to CDMaster32 and I'm finding I'm in need
of 17x17
glyphs (.bmp) to graphically show progress of OGG files.
Has anyone thought about this?
If not I was thinking of modifying/reducing the Xiphophorus "fish"
logo to
use in my application; however, since the xiph www site claims these are
both trademarked and copyrighted; I wondered what the rules are regarding
these logos... including possible modification for GUI applications.
Comments/Suggestions?

The reason it does is because it was the easiest way we had of preventing someone from sticking a logo of Ogg on something that wasn't Ogg compatable. Not a fear now, but possibly a fear later. I need to find some better way to express what I intend for the Thor logo (anyone following the spec may use the Thor and snake emblem) Monty --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'vorbis-dev-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
