What kind of legal stuff are we stating, again? Copyright, Kopyleft, Creative Commons (and CC variations)... What are we trying to protect here?

I'm thinking "used by permission".  That way the permissions or lack thereof stay in the hands of the original authors.

Ok, I could probably swing that.


You want it straight, or put through the buzzword filter?

Why not both?  Plain, followed by "TRANSLATION FOR THE CUBICLE-IMPAIRED".

Cool. I'll get to work.

Thanks so much, man. Been dealing with getting set up for next semester, and I really want to get this done before school is in full-swing (more school=less time, and so on). This was a sore spot for me, and the source of some weird anxiety. I appreciate it.

Also, sorry if I have come across as impatient/harping about some of these things. I understand it's kind of old news, but I think the BIP2013 is a really good collection and I am dedicated to getting it finished.

I know how you feel.  The last 2 weeks of MSY was pure torture.

Also, I am planning on doing a visual piece for the title page (possibly the cover, too, if nothing better comes up) using a bunch of the contributing authors avatar pics. I was just going to use which ever avatars people are currently using, but if anyone has an old avatar that they'd rather me use, then post the pic here, plz.

Sorry, I should have clarified; I'm using avatars precisely because they are, generally, not actual pictures of the people they represent. While you look quite stunning in this glorious selfie, I'm not intending on using actual photos of the contributors (photos are fine, just not of us). For instance, your current avatar is more what I'm looking for. Y'know, things that represent, but that do not resemble that which they represent, ya?

Hmmm I will have to think about this,  because you definitely can't use my current avatar, it being rather definitely someone else's copyrighted art.

True dat. The more I think of it, it's going to be a nightmare finding everyone's preferred avatar. Not sure about this so much anymore. Any word from your friend (sorry, keep forgetting their name) about cover art?
