Copyright and licensing information
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
This is a collection of vectorized symbols for use on the APRS system.
|
|
|
|
The copyright status of this collection is a bit complicated, since the
|
|
symbols come from various sources, each having different copyright owners.
|
|
|
|
Most of the vectorized symbols are loosely based on the low-resolution
|
|
"standard" bitmap symbol set as distributed by Stephen Smith, WA8LMF. That
|
|
set is used by most APRS software around the world. The low resolution of
|
|
those symbols does not allow direct vector conversion, so I've drawn new
|
|
symbols in a similar layout. The vector versions try to mimic the original
|
|
appearance and colours, with the intention of keeping the set recognizable
|
|
and familiar to existing users. In some cases the vector versions are
|
|
probably similar enough to the originals, so that they cannot be considered
|
|
"original work" by myself. In some of these cases, the originals are
|
|
probably also mimicking someone else's design.
|
|
|
|
The original symbols do not come with any information on their licensing.
|
|
They've been distributed with a lot of APRS software over time, but I don't
|
|
know who designed which symbol originally. Most likely all of them are
|
|
drawn by one of:
|
|
|
|
* Roger Barker, G4IDE, "original set provided with UI-View" (SK)
|
|
* Steve Dimse, KH4G, "U.S. customary set"
|
|
* Stephen Smith, WA8LMF
|
|
|
|
The Adobe Illustrator (.ai) file contains a copy of the original bitmaps
|
|
as a hidden layer, just for reference.
|
|
|
|
Some symbols I obtained from other sources, such as Wikipedia. In those
|
|
cases I picked SVG versions which allow commercial reuse (source known, and
|
|
the work is placed on public domain, or with a CC license which allows
|
|
adaptation and commercial reuse).
|
|
|
|
Some symbols are vectorized versions of product or brand logos. The
|
|
copyright of those is owned by the respective companies (Apple, Microsoft,
|
|
Kenwood), and each of those may have some opinions on how the logos are
|
|
used. Please check for yourself if you can use them or not.
|
|
|
|
In the list below I try to summarize the licensing status for each symbol.

* *VEC-OH7LZB* - Vectorized by OH7LZB, based on original APRS symbol set
|
|
* Source of original bitmap: http://wa8lmf.net/aprs/APRS_symbols.htm
|
|
* Original designer of individual symbol unknown at this time, but one of:
|
|
* Roger Barker, G4IDE
|
|
* Steve Dimse, KH4G
|
|
* Stephen Smith, WA8LMF
|
|
* Vectorized versions are designed to look similar
|
|
* Licensing: Unknown
|
|
* *OH7LZB* - Original vector design by Heikki Hannikainen, OH7LZB
|
|
* Different enough (by author's opinion) to make it a new original work,
|
|
instead of a copy of the old symbol
