*The standing conclusion of the prior discussion is there is no consensus this is free. As such, I have, yet again, reverted BQZip01's attempts to declare this free. I request, yet again, that BQZip01 or any other interested party start an RfC in order to evaluate if consensus has changed to an agreement that this image is free. BQZip, you need to stop edit warring in an attempt to get your way. It doesn't work that way, and you know it. You edit warred on the prior image, and now you've carried forward this edit war to this new image. --[[User:Hammersoft|Hammersoft]] ([[User talk:Hammersoft|talk]]) 00:20, 23 December 2009 (UTC) |

*:Is there anywhere you will not follow me? This is a ''new'' image. There was NO consensus in another image's prior RfC. That doesn't mean the "default" is "we do whatever Hammersoft wants since he the the most cautious and wants to have a completely free encyclopedia with NO nonfree images". The RfC never even addressed ANY of the concerns mentioned above. Furthermore, you have the uncanny knack of sidetracking any discussion into irrelevancies and your personal beliefs as to how Wikipedia should be run. You have answered ''nothing'' I've addressed above and ''refuse'' to discuss ANYTHING unless you have a bigger platform (i.e. an RfC). If you won't discuss any points here, why would I trust you to discuss any points there? Why can't you address them here and now like [[WP:TALK]] dictates we should do (not that I expect you to answer any of these questions or attempt to build a consensus)? <span style="background-color: maroon; color: white">[[User:BQZip01|<font color="white">'''— ''BQZip01'' —'''</font>]]</span> <sup>[[User_talk:BQZip01|talk]]</sup> 05:07, 23 December 2009 (UTC) |
Revision as of 05:07, 23 December 2009
This image simply isn't copyrightable.
- References: Eltra Corp. v. Ringer: "[a] typeface has never been considered entitled to copyright under the provisions of §5(g)" and a "Typeface" is a term defined by the House Report of the 1976 revision of the Copyright Act as "...a set of letters, numbers, or other symbolic characters...whose intrinsic utilitarian function is for use in composing text."
This logo consists of two letters: a "W" and a "V" with serifs at the top of each. Comparable images include File:Texas-Tech-University-logo.png, File:LA_Dodgers.svg, and File:ALC-DET-Insignia.png (among others). As such. this logo is not copyrightable.
By contrastASCII art or the Washington State University logo are letters are not intended to be used explicitly as letters, but as a medium by which an artistic image is formed. Accordingly, I'm fixing the licensing as this image is not copyrigthable.
If you are going to change this licensing to anything else, please explain what is incorrect about the above assertions. — BQZip01 — talk 05:53, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
- I copied everything from the PNG file to the SVG file, so that all of the information is saved and no new rationales had to be written. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 06:04, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
- I understand, but the older file had problems with their rationales as they were unnecessary. I deleted them according to the above. — BQZip01 — talk 02:50, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
- If I can be honest, I give up when it comes to the text logos. I still won't quit drawing them in SVG, or at least getting SVG quality, but I have been tied up in IRL messes and Commons backlogs. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 05:41, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
