[Freedombox-discuss] copy-right/-left of visual logo & identity unclear

[uniqx]

cc would be very nice, because most people would already know what
rights they'll get. as opposed to considering the implications of
complying to yet another new license. i suppose cc by-nc-sa would be a
good choice for giving the community something to work with, but i'm no
lawyer thou ...

i'm just not sure if non commercial is a good idea, because of hardware
manufacturers, who will probably want to but the banding on their
products. i also would like to see all freedombox packages in the free
debian repository without re-branding, but i don't know the relevant
criteria here.
