Subject: Re: [PATCH 00/12] add PNG support
Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2012 18:03:08 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120906160308.GA26594@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120906060058.GE4761@game.jcrosoft.org>

The discussion in this thread makes it clear that there are two problems
with this logo, one technical and one political.

The technical problem:

From a technical pov it makes no sense to put big image binaries into
the repository when a small svg image would be sufficient to generate
all other images.

The political problem:

For an open source project a closed image is a no go. We (and by we I
mean we as the community, not we as Pengutronix) must for example be
able to:

- generate versions with different colors, sizes, dimensions
- generate a logo without text
- modify the image and to redistribute without limitations
- add a journal to the logo and use it for bwn.org (barebox weekly news) ;)

Sascha
