17:58.23 MinuteElectron s/w 6
17:58.28 MinuteElectron sorry
19:15.40 brlcad done
19:17.21 MinuteElectron thanks
20:40.20 MinuteElectron brlcad: Can you take a look at the http://my.brlcad.org/
20:40.25 MinuteElectron I have been working on the footer.
20:40.59 MinuteElectron removed the big blocks and replaced it with a line similar to the top.
20:41.18 MinuteElectron Not sure if I should switch the search to the left and quotes to the right
20:49.41 MinuteElectron yeah, I think it looks nicer on the left
20:52.50 MinuteElectron Also should I credit your nick or your name to the graphics?
21:01.30 brlcad hm, looks nice though hopefully the search box is less redundant with some content there
21:02.06 brlcad i don't need to be listed for the credits
21:02.29 brlcad there should be a whole page dedicated to the site though for credits and similar matters
21:04.22 MinuteElectron ok
21:04.31 MinuteElectron Who will hold copyright to the site content?
21:04.35 MinuteElectron The authors?
21:04.55 MinuteElectron Have you chosen a license yet also?
21:05.12 brlcad good questions
21:06.30 brlcad hm, as for copyright matters, my first inclination would be the same terms as the sources so that they can be interchanged (web docs become part of code and vice-vera)
21:07.33 MinuteElectron LGPL then?
21:08.12 brlcad BDL for the license
21:08.33 MinuteElectron I don't know what that is.
21:09.04 brlcad BSD documentation license
21:09.25 brlcad basically the BSD license, but terms are worded more appropriately to non-code
21:09.25 MinuteElectron Oh, okay.
21:10.02 MinuteElectron Is there a difference between the BSD Documentation License and the FreeBSD one?
21:10.25 brlcad yeah, it's basically a generalized form of the FreeBSD one
21:10.50 MinuteElectron Do you have a link?
21:11.03 brlcad http://brlcad.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/brlcad/brlcad/doc/legal/bdl.txt
21:11.13 MinuteElectron thanks
21:11.46 brlcad The copyright line it refers to isn't in that file, but is a simple two-line
21:12.18 MinuteElectron ok
21:12.27 MinuteElectron and the authors of the content will hold copyright?
21:13.23 brlcad example in use: http://brlcad.cvs.sourceforge.net/brlcad/brlcad/src/librt/librt.3?view=markup
21:14.58 *** join/#brlcad elite01 (n=elite01@dslb-088-070-013-096.pools.arcor-ip.net)
21:15.04 brlcad in the source code, we have a pretty strict convention of giving proper credit and attribution, but requiring assignment so the legalities are easier to manage/defend
21:15.26 brlcad i'd be inclined to do the same for the site, but it's certainly not nearly an issue there
21:16.41 MinuteElectron there?
21:18.32 brlcad example of an "about site" page, http://slashdot.org/about.shtml and http://www.blender.org/blenderorg/credits/
21:18.47 brlcad there being "on the website" or "in the documentation" which are mildly interchangeable
21:19.06 MinuteElectron ok
21:19.10 brlcad web is sort of a publication format
21:19.20 MinuteElectron ok
21:19.28 brlcad again, not a big deal, I could probably be convinced either way if someone felt strongly
21:19.43 brlcad the code is the one that has additional legal constraints
21:20.13 MinuteElectron So this would be an alright copyright tagline "All trademarks and copyrights on this page are owned by their respective owners."?
21:20.29 brlcad plus by using the BDL, it really doesn't matter -- you can do pretty much anything with the docs, even sell them, just so long as you don't claim that you wrote them if you didn't :)
21:20.46 MinuteElectron cool
21:21.02 brlcad sure, that's fine
21:21.28 brlcad although that almost goes without saying :)
21:21.38 brlcad they're owned by .. their owners ;)
21:22.28 MinuteElectron true
21:24.36 *** join/#brlcad thing0 (n=ric@124-168-88-147.dyn.iinet.net.au)
21:31.52 brlcad ~MinuteElectron++
21:31.56 brlcad nice work on the quotes :)
21:32.00 thing0 hey brlcad
21:32.17 brlcad howdy thing0
21:32.34 MinuteElectron thanks
21:32.40 thing0 how u been brlcad?
21:32.41 MinuteElectron Still needs more populating.
21:32.50 brlcad yeah it does
21:33.02 MinuteElectron and when there is a long one it ruins everything
21:33.05 brlcad thing0: pretty good, quite busy -- still recovering from being away at siggraph
21:33.13 thing0 ahh siggraph
21:33.15 thing0 how was it?
