Email dialog between Eric M Gearhart and the image creator
My original email to "npu"
Hello, I am a Computers Author over at the Citizendium project (http://citidendium.org). Put simply, Citizendium aims to be "a better Wikipedia than Wikipedia." I'm writing to ask if I can use your "Linux Distro Timeline" in the Linux distribution article (located at http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Linux_distribution) I see that in the image you state "Feel free to modify and spread," however that really doesn't qualify as an "official license" that we'd like to see attached to the image if I uploaded it. If you approve of me using it, your response can go onto the discussion page of the image after it's uploaded. Thanks for your time and the awesome timeline, Eric Gearhart Citizendium Author
First response
Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2007 15:06:43 +0200 From: npu <nonplusx@gmail.com> To: "Eric Gearhart" <eric@nixwizard.net> Subject: Re: Linux distro timeline usage Hi there Eric, Thanks for asking -- you're free to use the image in any way you want. More exposure will probably lead to more feedback, (hopefully) meaning more accurate data in the timeline. So thank *you*. :)
My response asking for his legal name
Hey I uploaded your image and whatnot. They're saying over at Citizendium that the image isn't legal with just your email address (yes I know the email address matches the image, I pointed that out too). Here's what one of the constables over at Citizendium is saying: "Eric, we need a real name for "npu" or this image has to go. We have no idea if really has the ability to do anything with that image and his real name is the core needful thing in the matter. Free images are not free unless legal and nothing legal nor free has transpired without a real name. Stephen Ewen" I understand your possible privacy concerns... if you choose to put your real name over at kde-files.org or reply with it then I'll add it to the image talk page located at http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Image:Linux_distro_timeline.png If not, I understand, but the image will probably get deleted :( Thanks for replying in the first place, and sorry to have possibly wasted your time, Eric
His second response
Eric, My real name is Andreas Lundqvist and you're free to publish it under that name if you want. Oh, almost forgot, I just finished a new version the other night available at http://nonplusx.wordpress.com (or kde-files.org as usual).
