Add PCLinuxOS download instructions #177
Conversation
Closes Tox#161 Client download instructions for PCLinuxOS distribution.
Looks good. Since |
CC BY-SA. Should I add that information somewhere? |
Hm, not too sure how licensing works here. When you contribute original code it's assumed that you license it to the same license the project is licensed under. I guess it's similar for assets too? Anyway, it would be nice if you mentioned it explicitly, like put a LICENSE file in |
What is the license for the rest of the images in that directory? |
Nope. GPL is NOT MADE for assets. Assets (audio, video, graphics, etc) have their own licenses types (CC aka. Creative Commons) that are meant to be compliant with GPL while granting right based on the actual stuff being licensed. See this to understand why GPL isn't made for assets. ➡️ https://www.linux.com/news/trouble-artwork-and-free-software-licenses As to where place the license, just name it like For more legal information's, ask on the #fsf channel on Freenode, I'm not a lawyer :3 |
@tox-user I'd assume they are all CC-By-SA, like the LICENSE file says. I have no idea though, I got control of the website repository after all this was already added by the people who were previously managing it, I'm not even sure where other svgs come from, whether they were created from scratch for this website or they were taken from somewhere. @SkyzohKey what are you talking about? No one suggests using GPL, no one has even mentioned GPL. Please don't post offtopic comments. |
@nurupo the project is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0, including the code. I think that should mean that all of the art is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0, unless specified otherwise? None of the imagines in dist folder contain a license in their metadata, expect for gentoo.svg:
We should probably have a separate license for the code? |
@tox-user oh, also, I have removed the distro-specific instructions from the Downloads webpage in #196, that's why you are getting a merge conflicts now. I was removing the Debian/Ubuntu package repository information before I actually shut down the package server, and I noticed that most of distro-specific instructions were not about how to get Tox from an official package repository of a distribution, but about Tox's own Debian, Ubuntu, Arch and Gentoo repositories. Well, the Arch one also mentioned that Tox is available on AUR on the same page that it's talking about using Tox'es own Arch repo, that seems to be rather an exception. So I have removed mentioning of all Tox repositories, since none of them are being maintained, and placed "Please check in the package repository of your distribution." on there, since nothing else was left and checking all distributions and their releases for Tox packages was out of scope of that PR. |
I see. What should we do about that then? Add a link for PCLinuxOS only? We could add links to build instructions there or each of the clients could have a short guide explaining how to build their client (they would have to update them) to make the panel not so empty. Under Linux or GNU/Linux on the download page I would add: If we get more distros it would be: That's how I list them currently based from JSON (don't remember if it's in one of the PRs). All of the links would open the same panel like they used to. "other" would be a tab that contains compilation instructions. |
Closes #161
