[Rails-devel] Including CC art resources

[Frederick W. <fre...@go...>]

There are a lot of art resources (icons,...) that could be included into rails.

But for me, the following is unclear:

(1) Is there a demand for this? (It may well increase of the size of rails.)

(2) How to deal with the CreativeCommons licences that such art
resources would have been licenced under?
Most commonly, there are two types of licences:
- Attribution: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
      - The web doesn't provide any conclusive statement whether
putting an attribution txt within rails' main folder would be enough
for this purpose
      - Or should the credits popups be amended for this purpose?
- Attribution with ShareAlike: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/
      - ShareAlike appears to be a no-go as we don't want to share
rails under the CC licence (CC is even not intended for software)
      - But this would be a pity as most resources are by-sa and not only by
