image containing copyrighted material, used without permission and licensed with a GFDL tag wchich clearly contradicts the copyright tag of the wikimedia foundation --F3rn4nd0 13:55, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Comment: anyone willing to vote for this pic?--24.218.26.57 05:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Keep image is in use, and it is impossible for information hosted on Wikimedia's servers to violate their own copyright. -Nard 20:45, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- well maybe we should just upload every image we find copyrighted to the commons.. and use them. and then KEEP them? don't think so.--F3rn4nd0 16:42, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- Please don't strike out my comment. I consider that vandalism. -Nard 16:46, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- Take a moment to read the tags in the [[Image:Wikifootball-logo.png]] and then give your opinion if you don't have a clear view on policies please refrain from making comments. --F3rn4nd0 16:57, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep The image was created by the uploader, and he released it under the GFDL, which is acceptable, but he also put a notice saying that the logo inside the ball (Wikipedia's) is copyrighted. He doesn't have to ask permission to use the logo inside Wikipedia. It's like taking a photo of a logo; the photo itself may be released under a free license, but the logo is obviously copyrighted. Did you even try to discuss this before requesting its deletion? --Boricuaeddie 18:12, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- comment: Releasing this image under the GFDL is not acceptable if the wikimedia tag clearly states that is NOT ALLOWED.. and yes it needs a permission from the wikimedia foundation even if used in its projects. I must remind you that you are not part of the foundation, the foundation just uses you to add info for free... I once created a logo for a wikiproject which had a modified wikimedia logo, (as modified as this one) had the same licenses as this one and it ended up being deleted. --F3rn4nd0 19:42, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- Can you link to the deletion discussion for that, please? I am of the opinion this is no violation, and just because you are bitter doesn't mean you should take it out on other images. -Nard 04:09, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- F3rn4ndo0's main argument seems to be WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, which is not convincing at all. 81.154.236.252 10:02, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Delete The Wikipedia logo, of which this is a derivative, is not free content. William Avery 20:01, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Common sense should prevail here, the image is being used on Wikimedia servers, so I fail to see how it is breaching copyright. 86.128.202.61 17:52, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- comment: Common sense is to read the instructions, period! To modify the logo of wikimedia foundation is prohibited and needs permission, simple!! You are not allowed to modify it without permission! example: If you work for a company are you allowed to use the seat of your boss without permission just because you work in the same company and you are his employee(and there is a sign that says only for the boss)? to breach the copyright all you have to do is not follow the instructions.. and this image clearly does that. Image is not free.--F3rn4nd0 07:17, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment- Ha! I have found proof that the nom is wrong. If you see w:Image:Commons-barnstarW.png, it includes the Commons logo, and a tag that clearly states that the logo is copyrighted. But, the changes made by the author are released under the GFDL. The same applies to this image. It must not be deleted. --Boricuaeddie 03:04, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- Commons:Licensing: "The following restrictions must not apply to the image or other media file: Use by Wikimedia only (the only non-free-licensed exceptions hosted here as well are Wikimedia logos and other designs copyrighted by the Wikimedia Foundation that are the trademarks, service marks or other design elements that identify the sites of the various projects of the Wikimedia Foundation)". -Nard 13:49, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment While this logo may not be licensed under the GFDL, this is not a reason to remove it from the commons. As long as all usage is internal to Wikimedia projects and uploader/creator secures permission to use the logo, this image could be kept. See Wikipedia. ˉanetode╦╩ 22:07, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
- Deleted. For the benefit of all our projects, Commons hosts some official logos copyrighted by WMF. However, these logos are approved by the WMF while this image isn't. Samulili 09:03, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
