[Caml-list] Am I allowed to use the OCaml logos?

[Caml-list] Am I allowed to use the OCaml logos?

[Mike McClurg]

Hi list,

I'm submitting a proposal for a talk at FOSDEM [1] next year about how
Citrix uses OCaml in XenServer and its open source distro, XCP. The
submission site allows me to attach a logo to my talk proposal. I'd
like to incorporate the logos that are advertised for use on the
ocaml-lang.org site [2].

The logos page mentions that the logos are available for use on
websites, but they don't say anything else, and I can't find a license
for these. I'd like to know:

1) Am I allowed to advertise my talk using one of the OCaml logos found at [2]?
2) Am I allowed mashup these logos with logos for our XCP software?
Note that these logos do not mention Citrix or any other corporation,
and are meant to serve as logos for our purely open source software. I
believe that they are licensed under the creative commons, but I need
to confirm that.

Does anyone know for sure the answers to these questions? Thanks,

Mike

.. and on the caml.inria.fr site, with more logos and fewer broken links:

Hmm.  I guess we should slap some Creative Commons licence on them (CC
works for pictures too, right?), just to be clear.

Yes, you can do both, please go ahead.

Have fun with the FOSDEM talk,

Thanks, Xavier. I've branded my talk with the "Powered by OCaml" logo.

Does anyone know if there are high-res or vector graphics for those OCaml logos?

I made this logo last summer. But I don't know if it is good for an official logo.
It's all vectorial.

I would discourage use of the "Caml" logos as we should promote consistent
use of the new official name "OCaml".

The file "caml.pdf" posted by Christophe Papazian contains the name
"OCaml" despite the filename is "caml.pdf".

I just opened this vectorial logo in Inkscape, I can see it is very clean.
In case some people would prefer to get this file in the SVG format,
here is joined to this email.

- ocaml-inkscape.svg (is the Inkscape formated version)
- ocaml.svg (is an optimised version saved with the optimiser plugin
of Inkscape)

It was first converted with pdf2svg, and in Inkscape I have added a
white background, in case someone use a rasteriser that would put a
transparent background. But if it is what you want, just remove it.

Also maybe we could just put a white background that is a rectangle
with round corners? (and leave the outside of these round corners
transparent?)

Florent

It would be very nice to have these files in some publicly available code
repo. The ocaml.org repo (formerly ocamlweb) would be a good place for it,
but please add files only if you have permission to do so. I'm not sure who
the owner of these works is.

For what it's worth, Christophe's logo has been stolen (by me) and has
become the icon of the (official?) Google+ page of the language :-)

Well, for all who don't already know but care:
this camel originally comes from the "DA-OCAML" book
 http://www.pps.univ-paris-diderot.fr/Livres/ora/DA-OCAML/
and its author is Pascal Manoury. ;-)
