colloquially known as "cc-sa"."
I don't know where you found that it is CC-SA (BTW this isn't the licence a
use), but if you somehow derived this info from my article, then please take
a closer look and ensure you understood it right:
http://portal.wikinerds.org/gnu-hurd-l4-first-program
This image was found on http://www.marcus-brinkmann.org/banner.jpg
I asked Marcus via email and he had no problem to use the pic on my site. I
also asked at gnu.org about the Hurd logo and they told me it's freely
redistributable.
On the copyright notices posted on my article I say that only the text is
CC-By-SA-2, the images are fair use.
Please note that notices in individual articles override site-wide notices. In
addition, my site is in a transitional period as we just started to allow
multilicensing and using a page-based copyright scheme.
Also, it would be better to cite as source the brinkmann's site and not my
site, since I also got it from there.
