[Wikibooksde-l] IDPL/Screenshoots von Firebird

Tue Jul 18 12:25:25 UTC 2006

Kurze Einleitung:
Auf Wikibooks gibt es 2 Screenshoots von Firebird.
Beim überprüfen des Lizenzstatuses viel auf, das wir die Lizenz dieser 
Bilder nicht kennen und wir nicht einfach die Lizenz vom Firebird 
Quellcode (die IDPL) nehmen können, weil diese nur für Quellcode gilt.
Um die Bilder weiterhin verwenden zu können, habe ich dann bei der 
Firebird Foundation angefragt und zur offenen Dokumentation leite ich 
die betreffenden EMails weiter:

Meine Anfrage vom 16.07.2006 15:57

    Dear People from the Firebird Foundation,

    Firebird is under IPDL (Initial Developer's PUBLIC LICENSE
    <http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDPL>), that's clear.

    But under which licence are screenshoots from firebird? Because the
    IDPL is only for source code and not for picture.

    Now the reason why I ask:
    We have on
    http://de.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programmieren_mit_dBASE_PLUS:_BDE-/ODBC-Verbindungen_einrichten
    2 screenshoots from Firebird and we don't know under which licence
    we can use them.

    Hello Michael,

    I don't think the question of screenshots has ever been addressed -
    nobody has ever asked us this question before!  However,
    documentation in the Firebird Project is covered by the Public
    Documentation License.

    We should raise the specific issue of screenshots with the Project
    Admins;  but I cannot think of any reason why your screenshots would
    not be covered generically by the PDL, which you can read here:

    Thank you for taking the trouble to inquire.

    regards,
    Helen Borrie
    Secretary, Firebird Foundation

Er hebt jemand Einspruch da gegen, die PDL von Firebird als 
Lizenzbaustein für Bilder aufzunehmen?
