[GM-announce] GraphicsMagick Logo Issue

[Bob F. <bfr...@si...>]

I have been in communication with the copyright holder of the
ImageMagick logo (which was used as the base for the GraphicsMagick
logo), as well as reviewing emails dating from the time of the
contribution.  It clearly was (and still is) the copyright holder's
intention that this logo be used for ImageMagick.

Given this, I see no alternative other than to issue a GraphicsMagick
1.0.1 package which includes a different logo (possibly even a blank
image), replacing GraphicsMagick 1.0.  It is the GraphicsMagick
Group's intention to preserve all copyright statements to the best of
our abilities and observe the usage terms specified by each copyright
holder as required by law.

The good news is that the contributor of the excellent ImageMagick
logo has offered to contribute a new logo for GraphicsMagick.  Based
on the excellent quality of the ImageMagick Logo, I expect that the
GraphicsMagick logo will be something to be proud of.
