Re: [Rails-devel] Including CC art resources

[Edward S. R. <ed...@we...>]

The legal code for by-sa is more explicit about what attribution means. 

>From section 4(c):

"The credit required by this Section 4(c) may be implemented in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that in the case of a Adaptation or Collection, at a minimum such credit will appear, if a credit for all contributing authors of the Adaptation or Collection appears, then as part of these credits and in a manner at least as prominent as the credits for the other contributing authors."

Using artwork licensed with by-sa shouldn't effect anything else in rails - since rails is GPLed anyway, there's no issues around commercial/non-commercial work and since artwork is generally considered to be bundled and thus doesn't have issues with different licences. At least as far as I understand the issues thus far :)
