Guix logo re-use

Guix logo re-use

[Benson Muite]

Hi,

Would like to use the Guix logo[0] modified to have a single color 
without gradients to make an embroidered Polo-shirt[1]. Is this ok?  It 
is under a CC-BY-4.0 license.  What is appropriate attribution on an 
embroidered polo shirt? For example is the Guix name enough, should 
CC-BY-4.0 and/or LFL Acevedo/sirgazil be added?

Regards,
Benson

Of course :)

I don't know if you already adjusted the logo to your needs, but if you haven't, maybe check the SVG icon in https://gitlab.com/luis-felipe/guix-backgrounds. I did that one thinking partly in embroidery but haven't actually tried it (don't know if the gaps are wide enough).

You don't have to comply with the attribution requirement if you are printing the original logo or modified versions of it in your own clothes for personal use (you don't have to credit me nor indicate the changes you made to the logo anywhere in your clothes nor anywhere else).

If you plan to sell items with the original logo or modified versions of it, you must give attribution as indicated in https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/.

Hope that helps,

Had done an initial conversion. Attached are preview images, including 
one using the icon.

The shirt is for a free software enthusiast who is paying a fee.  What 
is the procedure followed for the FSF store:
https://shop.fsf.org
There is no GUIX swag yet.  It may be nice to have more embroidered 
items - these can be made in Africa, possibly custom fitted.

I don't know what's the procedure in FSF's store, but in your particular case you can simply use the logo in the shirt and accept the money for your work. You don't have to put my name in the design :)

My understanding is that stores selling items with the logo would have to give proper credit somewhere: in the item's page and/or in labels in the apparel.

I could check what's the process to get items in FSF's store, but I also plan to sell those kinds of items in my store (https://um4no.creator-spring.com/) at some point (mainly hats and sweaters).

Can add an appropriate label. Thanks.

Will do this. The store is nice since some amount would also go back to 
the project.  Ideally they would also allow linking to the logo creators 
online profile or perhaps facilitate sales by people creating artwork 
using free software.  People do amazing things with Inkscape, Krita, 
GIMP, etc., but not much goes back to support such projects.
