That sounds sensible, but it would be better if it was stated clearly, as suggested in the GPL appendix. >> And there's no source for the images, is there?

A simple "Save as" > normally is enough. The eps files are created by The Gimp, the jpeg files by XV - so there is probably a common format used for creation and/or modification. I have no idea what XV is. And some are only available as jpg; I do not think that this is the preferred form for modification. Furthermore, at least for the logo of the TU Berlin I would be surprised if it was copyright by Till Tantau; a photograph of a Mac everybody can take (but even there it might be from Apple). >> I really do think that in order to resolve the license bug, someone has >> to contact Till. > > If you do not agree with my above interpretation, well, so be it. Should > we do this or the maintainer of pgf? Well, I filed the bugs against pgf and latex-beamer because I thought that we have enough license stuff to do on our own package. But since there's been no reaction by the maintainer, we're probably better off if we ask him ourselves. I'll see if I can do that soon.
