Logo license is outdated

[palant]

The license statement in this repository currently says:

remoteStorage logo: Jan-Christoph Borchardt, licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike

Now it appears that this applies to the original logo, not to the current one which wasn't created by @jancborchardt but by @DaliusStuoka from what I can tell.

Regardless, is it really necessary to require attribution for this image? This makes it considerably harder to use it - even if it's only a "choose your storage provider" screen, you have to add a visible attribution statement somewhere. In fact, I'm not even sure that the logo usage on https://remotestorage.io/ isn't currently violating license terms. So why not CC0?

Seeing the discussion in #2, this is completely unrelated to acceptable use of the remoteStorage brand. I could create my own SVG with the same visuals and CC-BY-SA would no longer apply. The terms by which you allow your brand to be used should be specified independently of the image license.

Afaik, the current logo is public domain, with zero restrictions. It would seem you found an outdated license statement.

That license statement is right in this repository: https://github.com/remotestorage/design/blob/master/README.md#license

Also, #3 (comment) sort of implies that the license of the new logo is CC-BY again.

So where is a current license statement? It would be great to see this stated somewhere...

That comment was mostly about the as of yet non-existing logo typeface.

As I said, I think you found an outdated statement. It would seem that we missed changing the statement, when the new logo was published. The new logo started out as a freelance job, sponsored by 5apps, and was finished up with help of community members at the time.
