File talk:Olympic rings with white rims.svg

Change of Nov-28

I don't see the slightest reason for restoring Zscout370's version, so I've reverted the image to my second version. --Pumbaa 19:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

An issue was brought up on the irc channel about it. On your version the red and black circles aren't linking with the other ones. So i took the Zscout370 version, changed his colors to those you used and unified the borders (BTW: its code seems quite clear).

I revert to this new version again (it's not the same as Zscout370). Ah, and i don't see the slightest reason for reverting to your version. Can you explain why? (before rereverting if possible...) Platonides 21:18, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

That's strange, my version works perfectly fine on my machine ;-) Also it seems to have worked great for 6 months for all other users. Can you describe the circumstances under which the problem occurs? What about Image:Olympic_flag.svg?

The problem about Zscout370's version is an inaccuracy with the white lines as seen on this screenshot snippet: http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/2597/screenjd3.png (zoomed in using Adobe SVG viewer). --Pumbaa 21:29, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and sorry for me reverting so quickly. That was stupid. I do not mean do start an edit war here :-) --Pumbaa 21:56, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

After several tests, I found out that the problem occurs on Firefox 2.0. It is known that FF2's native SVG viewer is far from being perfect. Using Firefox 2, you won't be able to display several other SVG images correctly, unless you install Adobe's SVG viewer. Again, there's nothing wrong about the files; it's a Firefox issue, and will be fixed in FF3.0.
Now, I'd very much like to use real circles instead of cubic Bézier curves for Olympic rings.svg. How about this one? It should display correctly in any Browser. --Pumbaa 11:43, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Luckily, users are presented a png version through a compliant renderer :-) Ok, now i agree with the change. Platonides 18:42, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

New version uploaded. Also, I've adjusted the dimensions of the rings to match the official versions. I hope I got it right :-) --Pumbaa 22:45, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Copyright status?

What is the copyright status for this? One box says it's in the free domain (in most of the world) because the author died more than 70 years ago, another bos says it's trademarked. Or can it be both in the free domain and trademarked? --EdgeNavidad (talk) 09:01, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, generally speaking, it can be both. In some countries and jurisdictions, trademark laws may be independent of copyright laws. Zzyzx11 (talk) 00:43, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

If it is trademarked and in the free domain, what does that say about its use one Wikipedia? Does that mean that it can be used freely on Wikipedia, or only with a fair use rationale? Or not at all?--EdgeNavidad (talk) 13:01, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

If you are talking about using this in Wikipedia, Wikiquote, or any project of the Wikimedia Foundation, then it is generally treated as any other free content image. Zzyzx11 (talk) 17:39, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
