Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Using Images in Plugins - License issues

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you are talking about making a contribution
to an Eclipse project, then the contribution goes through the same process
regardless of whether it is code, images, or anything else. The most useful
guide to this is the following poster:

http://www.eclipse.org/legal/EclipseLegalProcessPoster.pdf

I don't think Creative Commons License
is approved for use in Eclipse right now, but the best way to get a definitive
answer to that is to enter a CQ and the IP team will discuss it with you.

Subject	[cross-project-issues-dev] Using Images in Plugins - License issues

Hi,

I want use some images I found from the web for my Google
Summer of code project [1]. 
I am not aware of the license concerns of using images
in eclipse plugins. 

Following are some of the images I may use for my project.
They are in Creative Commons License.

Can I use those images for my project?
