License of/permission for Clojure's logo

[samppi]

I want to put the Clojure logo:

...on Wikipedia's article on Clojure. What is the license of Clojure's
logo--is it a free image? Or can Mr. Hickley give me permission to use
it on Wikipedia?

This is of no relevance to your question, but I have always wanted to
say that Clojure has one of the most beautiful logos among all the
programming languages.

You can use the logo on the wikipedia article on Clojure, but only if
you spell my name correctly :)

Ah ha ha ha. Wow, my mistake. I'll make sure to spell it correctly.

I totally agree with cogfun, though—it's a really nice logo. Did you
make it yourself?

No, it was designed by my brother, Tom Hickey.

+1 on the Logo. I wish Tapestry had one half as good.

A few of us were debating whether the green ying represented Java or
the blue yang. What's the official story?

I don't think we ever really discussed the colors representing
anything specific. I always vaguely thought of them as earth and sky.

I'm really glad that people like the logo!

Cheers,

I've uploaded the logo's glyph and added it to Clojure's article.

However, I'm wondering, Mr. Hickey—have you considered releasing the
language's logo under a free license? The language itself is under the
Common Public License; releasing its logo under another free license
is a logical step. If you do so, sites like Wikipedia and bloggers
talking about Clojure would be free to use and spread the logo. (I'm
bringing this up because Wikipedia itself doesn't like non-free images
on it because it says its materials can be used freely by anyone.)

Hey Rich,

Eric and I were also wondering if the logo was under the same license
as Clojure itself. If it is, should this be explicitly stated
somewhere?

Thanks,
Tom

I think using a license designed for code is slightly inappropriate
for artwork. I don't want to start yet another license war, but maybe
a creative commons license would be a better fit? The attribution-
share-alike[0] license seems to share the spirit of Clojure's license.

May I use the logo for the identi.ca group? ( http://identi.ca/group/clj )

Jason

[Rich Hickey]

Sure.
