Hi,
what is the policy about the derivatives of the official Wikimedia
project logos? Their license template, [[commons:Template:Copyright by
Wikimedia]] does not make much sense: it refers to [[Wikimedia:Wikimedia
visual identity guidelines]], which is about the Foundation logo, not
the project logos. [[m:Uses of logo derivatives]], which is not finished
yet, says "We can, theoretically, allow derivative works of the logos
for informal uses, but it is not yet clear who should approve every
derivative version." I suppose this is about off-project uses -
requiring approval beyond community consensus for every derivative used
in a Wikimedia project would be a horrible bureaucracy creep.
Can I assume, when creating license templates to logo derivatives in the
Hungarian Wikipedia (which is my reason for asking this), that the final
policy will be something sensible, like permission to create
derivatives, provided they are only used in the Wikimedia projects, and
their copyright is transferred to the Foundation?
