[Clipart] Fwd: [Question #157027]: some of my cliparts deleted with out any inform

[chovynz]

Answered.

"Yep that was me. I am sorry for not informing you first; I will do better
next time.

The reason for deletion was that the pdf logo was on the pdf icons, and
while I loved those icons, OCAL policy and PD/CC0 states that we cannot
accept any clipart with other companie's logos on or in them.

At the time I was deleting many, many violating cliparts (over 100) from the
past, that have already been notified, but were not actioned for months
(sometimes years), and I guess I got a bit too enthusiastic about cleaning
the Library. I assumed that you knew the pdf logo was on the icons. I
regretted that I had to delete them because I liked what the cliparts looked
like, and by deleting them, I was breaking up a nice set of icons. If you
can find a way to design the same icons without the pdf logo, and re-upload
that would be great.

Please accept my humble apologies for not informing you of the clipart
copyright violation first. I will endeavour to inform of such things first,
before I take any further action, in the future.

Thank you for taking the time to ask your question.

Warm Regards
Chovynz (Librarian for the Open Clipart Library)"
