<paroneayea> ohnoes! I gave up the ability to do that by assigning my
copyright to the FSF
<paroneayea> think of all the chocolate I could have had through proprietary
relicensing!
... true story.

One issue that Will brought up was... oh, I'll just copy-paste here
again.
<willkg> paroneayea: oh. what about the GNU MediaGoblin logo or other
branding assets? are we going to have any in the tarball that gets
released?
<paroneayea> yeah those will be CC0 also, I think?
<paroneayea> I really am not too terribly attached to the GNU MediaGoblin
logo. I think it's fine for it to be CC0.
<willkg> so, branding assets as CC0 seems funky since then anyone can use it
for anything and because it's branding, it's something we want
specifically associated with us.
<willkg> so that's why i asked.
<paroneayea> hm.
<willkg> we don't really have any branding assets, yet.
<paroneayea> Okay, I'll bring it up on list.
<willkg> good idea, my liege!
... Thoughts on this? Our CC0 paragraph currently looks like:
HTML templates, CSS, images, and video
======================================
To the extent possible under law, GNU MediaGoblin's authors have waived
all copyright and related or neighboring rights to GNU MediaGoblin's
HTML templates and non-software content (CSS, images, and video).
You should have received a copy of the CC0 legalcode along with this
work under the filename <CC0_1.0.txt>. If not, see
<http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/>.
We could rework it to:
HTML templates, CSS, images, and video
======================================
To the extent possible under law, GNU MediaGoblin's authors have waived
all copyright and related or neighboring rights to GNU MediaGoblin's
HTML templates and non-software content (CSS, images, and video), with
an exception made for MediaGoblin's branding logo, which is released
as Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (see below).
You should have received a copy of the CC0 legalcode along with this
work under the filename <CC0_1.0.txt>. If not, see
<http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/>.
And then have a paragraph like:
MediaGoblin Logo
================
MediaGoblin Logo (c) by the Free Software Foundation, Inc
The MediaGoblin Logo
(identifiable by the files in mediagoblin/branding/)
is licensed under a
Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.
You should have received a copy of the license along with this
work. If not, see <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/>.
If this is too messy I'd rather the logo be CC0 than create a licensing
mess.

Indeed, though if Brett Smith can't confirm whether or not we are crazy
by Monday, I'd rather wait for his wisdom here.
