Git Logo

Who owns the copyright to the Git logo as seen here?

http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/FrontPage?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=git-logo.png

Apress wants to use it on the cover of the Pro Git book and I'm not
sure who to ask about that - no name is listed on the wiki page
(http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitRelatedLogos).

Thanks,
Scott

Hi guys,

I'm new to git, I already downloaded the msysgit. I'm working with git
a couples weeks now. But I want to start debugging the git source code
in Windows. How can I do that? Can I do that using Visual Studio, or
there are other methods to debug git?

Thanks all, great work!

First, please do not post unrelated message as a followup; this
message should be start of new thread, and have appropriate subject
(like the one above).

Second, do not toppost.  Third, only quote what is necessary.


Git uses GNU make as a build tool, so I am not sure if you can develop
Git with MS Visual Studio.  You should have GNU make installed if you
have chosen appropriate version of msysGit (the one with developer
tools).

Hi Jakub,

Sorry for my mistakes, was the first time I posted to the
mailling-list, and I didn't know about this rules.
I can build the git with make which was installed by msysGit. But I
want to debug, not only build.

I don't know if you can debug msysGit with MS Visual Studio. I think
you should be able to, as msysGit is native Windows application. But
I do not program on MS Windows myself.

Perhaps this question should be better asked on msysGit Google Group?

I have no idea if that is possible, and I have no inclination to 
install/buy MS Visual Studio to find out.

However, I think I can assist anybody trying to do it.  You'll have to 
know how to operate Visual Studio, though, and come back with specific 
things that do not work.

Almost definitely.

You don't have to buy it to be able to install it, try the Express
editions, they're free, and pretty feature complete :).

Express is limited.

Besides, I find it a bit too much asked for to ask me to get something I 
will _never_ need to work.  I actually have own itches to scratch, you 
know?

Oh sure, I didn't mean that you should go ahead and install Express,
just that if you for whatever reason felt compelled to use VS... ;).

According to git's history, the file was commited by Martin Waitz 
in 281f2f6b45bf62e5bc81a6b457f1f7d26c426ea3 and is licensed under the
GPL.

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.

Er ... isn't that just the version of ImageMagick you are using?  (i.e. 
the same as the output of 'identify -version')

The majority of the early commits to gitweb don't include any comments, 
but I did find an early post from Kay to the mailing list lurking buried 
down there in my mail folder:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/1075

I guess that the logo referred to is the same one ...

Thanks a lot. The relevant part of mentioned email states:

From: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers <at> vrfy.org>
KS> Many thanks to Christian Gierke for all the interface work, the nice
KS> layout and the git logo.


Now that you found this, I have remembered that at the top of gitweb
code there is the following copyright statement:

  # (C) 2005-2006, Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>
  # (C) 2005, Christian Gierke
  #
  # This program is licensed under the GPLv2

which is then repeated in page header:

  <!-- git web interface version $version, \
  (C) 2005-2006, Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>, Christian Gierke -->
