Wasn't the author of all material submitted to the contest supposed to give up copyrights? Oh, wait, I'm reading the announcement again: "Copyright assignment The FreeBSD Foundation will acquire ownership of the winning logo by assignment of copyright, and the winning designer will disclaim any trademarks and without limitation all other rights related to the design (paperwork will be required)." So now I'm thinking along the lines of: i) either the paperwork is not finished yet, and we should wait for it to be sure, or ii) it doesn't matter. The owner of the copyright has changed, but the material is not free to use ... you have to ask for permission to The FreeBSD Foundation. I wonder if the foundation is thinking about offering the material under a creative commons or similar license (ie. not giving up copyright but allowing for certain uses) Fernan
