Study of the GoToSocial mascot
Published on
Character study of the GoToSocial sloth, a future new member, when I'll be drawing the group of mascots of the Fediverse.

Ohh I love all the cute expressions :D

@Anna really lovely to see this work David! Would love to see Lemmy and PixelFred hang out with the Sloth
โdavidrevoy
@liaizon Hey, Lemmy's license is what I could guess GNU Afero, along https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/blob/main/src/assets/icons/favicon.svg file (used on the README). But each time I used Lemmy, I had comments about controversies about Lemmy's creators. So far, no report about the accusations on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmy_(software), so hard to know what's true or not. I prefer to not touch at the moment and let time clarify.
For PixelFred, I haven't found a clear license so far, all I have is https://github.com/pixelfed/brand-assets/tree/master , and nothing is mentioned.

Hey @dansup would you mind giving us a clarification or adding a license to the pixelfred mascot? would be great to get take on it interacting with the rest of the fediverse friends!
โdansup@mastodon.social
@liaizon Hi, yes I will fix this!

โ8petros@petroskowo.pl
@Anna Not wanting to spoil the mood, but at the GoToSocial page there is no trace of Creative Commons licence concerning the logo. It says explicitely
Sloth logo by Anna Abramek, Copyright (C) 2021-2023 the GoToSocial Authors.
Which is "all rights reserved" rather than "some rights reserved" as the CC licenses go.
Also, Anna's own website is fully copyrighted (ยฉ 2019-2023 Anna Abramek).
Why such discrepancy?
davidrevoy
@8petros Hey, thanks for checking. Yes, their homepage lag a bit (like a sloth) to reflect the information on the README at the root of their project dev: https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial#user-content-image-attribution-and-licensing , You'll find the change done 4 month ago in this commit: https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/commit/1603a7fd484bcf47818f388023610898d464a558 (because I asked to clarify the licensing of the mascot before reusing).
I'm sure an update to the homepage will follow soonโข.

@Anna Happy to see it clarified. I am an avid advocate of CC-BY-SA licensing (for those who observe IP laws ;-) ). Open Culture FTW! โ
Anna@mastodon.art
@8petros GitHub page of the project has a more detailed licence section: https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial#image-attribution-and-licensing
This section may be worth editing on the main page @gotosocial

nice synchronization xD
โwmd@chaos.social
@Anna @8petros @gotosocial inspired by doesn't make it a derivative work does it?
davidrevoy
@wmd No, it's not a derivation. But it is in the "fair-use" area (like fan-arts): in front of a jury, it wouldn't be hard to tell the artwork has too many similar elements and so is copying the licensor properties. That's why in this case, it's more fair for me to directly license it and attribute in a similar fashion as the root material.
@Anna @8petros @gotosocial
โwmd@chaos.social
@Anna @8petros @gotosocial ah, I thought this would be more of a trademark thing. thanks.
โgotosocial@superseriousbusiness.org
@Anna @8petros yes indeed! Our website/landing page was just out of date, will fix it soon :)

@Anna You could perhaps do one for #Epicyon. Anything wolf or prehistoric dog related.

The sloth is adorable! ๐ May I please add the picture with the appropriate information (author, license) to this repository harvesting Fedi mascot artwork? https://codeberg.org/fediverse/distributopia/src/branch/main/sticker-bay
It will be very kind if you include Friendica mascot Flaxy O'Hare in your Fedi mascots drawing ๐ฐ

davidrevoy
@lightone Sure! No problem. I put them under CC for being reused. ๐
Thank you for showing me the Friendica mascot. Do you know where I can find out about its license?
lightone@mastodon.xyz
Flaxy O'Hare is licensed as CC0. It was perhaps a bit unwise to license it so freely, but I hope it will remain in use only by Friendica project. :)
โdavidrevoy
@lightone It's usually Ok for mascots. I found the source page https://wiki.friendi.ca/about/flaxy , and I'll try to credit creator @lightone , unless she prefer no ๐ (let me know Lightone)
โdavidrevoy
@lightone lol, Ijust got my two neurons connected re-reading the discussion and realising it is you the creator. ๐
2 โlightone@mastodon.xyz
Yes, it's me ๐ณ My only wish is for this mascot to help spread the word about Friendica, so I care less about credits. If credits are present, it's great; if there's no place for them, no problem too! :)
โdavidrevoy
@lightone ๐ perfect!
