IP clearance needed for the logo?
Hi,
Does anyone know what (if anything) needs to be done to be able to
receive/use a logo designed by Susan/ Semantic Web Company?
Maybe our mentors can weigh in?
Thank you,
Adina

See also relevant portions of the license agreement documentation (
http://apache.org/licenses/):
"For a corporation that has assigned employees to work on an Apache
project, a Corporate CLA (CCLA) is available for contributing intellectual
property via the corporation, that may have been assigned as part of an
employment agreement.
Note that a Corporate CLA does not remove the need for every developer to
sign their own ICLA as an individual, which covers both contributions which
are owned and those that are not owned by the corporation signing the CCLA.
The CCLA legally binds the corporation, so it must be signed by a person
with authority to enter into legal contracts on behalf of the corporation."
So if the logos are owned by the company, only a CCLA is necessary. If they
are jointly owned, or if there are additional contributions owned by the
individual contributor, an ICLA is also required. Typically these
agreements are only required for committers, but in this case where the
contribution is not being directly submitted by the author, I think it
would be good to have the agreement on record.

Talked to Billie about this -- trying to make sure I have the situation
correct. IMO, the question that needs to be answered is: who can assert
copyright ownership over the images.
Typically, copyright assertions are one of two entities: the individual
who created some "work" or a company which paid the individual to create
the work on their behalf.
From what I see, Robert David posted images from Susan Härtig, who both
work for Semantic Web. Thus, were these images created as a part of
Susan's professional responsibilities at Semantic Web Company? If so, a
CCLA from Semantic Web Company should be filed with the ASF. If not, an
affirmative statement from Susan (or a trusted member of Rya
acknowledging on Susan's behalf) would just be required, creating an
audit-trail of Susan's intent to grant ownership of these images to Rya.
Maybe Robert/Susan can comment? Or Adina, you can chase this offline?
