The file git-logo.png as separate file was added by Martin Waitz in 281f2f6 (gitweb: use out-of-line GIT logo., 2006-07-31), but it was just extracting file that was earlier created by gitweb with 'git-logo.png' action. If you go back in history, you would notice that gitweb started to generate it correctly in 8f1deb5 (set logo output to raw mode, 2005-11-23) by Kay Sievers, was converted from octal to hex in b87d78d (v107, 2005-08-07), with the following comment # cat git-logo.png | hexdump -e '16/1 " %02x" "\n"' | sed 's/ /\\x/g' and that before being embedded in gitweb (being generated by gitweb) in 44ad297 (v014, 2005-08-07) it was simply git_logo.png file (back then a separate file). I _think_ that link to git_logo.png first appeared in 4c02e3c (v000, 2005-08-07), which was second commit for gitweb. >>From examining file with 'identify -verbose' from ImageMagick you can see Version: ImageMagick 6.2.2 05/24/06 Q16 (I guess that mean 24 June 2005, not 24 May 2006). That doesn't help (much) to get to know who is the author of git_logo.png, and what license it is under. I expect it to be GPLv2 (or GPLv2 or later) licensed, like the rest of Git. -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git
