Thank you. This is the first time I've heard of the Graphite editor.

I think it could benefit from availability in package reposirories and looking at the license, it appears the program itself is free under the Apache license but the artwork is non-free. It cannot be modified and commercial use is prohibited.

When combined, Graphite as a whole is non-free so I won't be compiling this until the artwork is gone. I'll look into providing some dummy files and see where it goes.

The other packing problem is that there's already a server monitoring program also named Graphite. But given the above, a change of name and new icons would solve both problems.



For those who are confused I believe you're referring to the application logo and branding. So basically the Firefox > Iceweasel case again. While the art you create with it is still yours.


Of course anything you make yourself is yours. I'm not sure how the license can confuse anyone into thinking it wouldn't be. It likely wouldn't fly with the law anyway. Unless it was all saas.


You'd be surprised. There are a lot of people out there (and here) who think that unilaterally-declared LLM licenses can dictate what they are allowed to do with the output. Hell, a lot of people think that LLM's can be copyrightable. Copyright law is very clear about the conditions required for copyright protection, and LLMs fail to satisfy at least two. Even failing one is sufficient (see the Smiling monkey case).
