Hi Kurtis
First off, I want to tell you that the Belgeroth Wiki looks like a
great site, and we're delighted you've chosen to use MediaWiki
software as your choice of wiki software. I wish you well in this
endeavor.
I'm writing this email by suggestion of Mike Godwin, legal counsel to
the Wikimedia Foundation, after your site was brought to our attention
from an uninvolved party who confused your website for Wikipedia's.
The logo you're using for the website is a derivative of the Wikipedia
logo, a trademark owned by the Wikimedia Foundation. We appreciate
the recognition, you will be better off with a completely new and
unique logo of your own. The reason I am writing you is that we
believe it was not your intention to infringe on our copyrighted logo;
and we don't believe the harshness of a legal demand is necessary.
Thank you for your understanding.
Very truly yours,
Cary Bass
I removed the old one. I actually got Mike Godwin to call me and we chatted about it and everything is ok now between us. It was cool to talk to Mike Godwin.... He is the guy who first said Godwin's law...
As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.
If anyone was using the old log for a link you might want to go fix that broken link or delete the file as our logo will be changing.
For now anyone got any idea's for a new logo?
