Gopher images for the Go developer community
- magnusgraviti 11y agoHey guys! We will put right license here. Just tell us what to write to not break other licenses. We updated old images and added own new. So how to be here? I think we should add license of original authors (while Olga updated them and put into ai). And put own license (free to any use) to others. Could you make right pull request here? P.S. Work is not aimed to harm anyone and we
- kenOfYugen 11y agoGopher is a cool mascot, although I really enjoyed "The Autistic Gopher Hypothesis" I read some time ago. For humor's shake: http://www.evanmiller.org/four-days-of-go.html http://www.evanmiller.org/four-days-of-go.html
- maxmcd 11y agoMy Gopher has always made intense and direct eye contact: http://i.imgur.com/8THC2th.jpg http://i.imgur.com/8THC2th.jpg :)
- kenOfYugen 11y agooh what have you done to him? is he drugged on ADD/ADHD medication? ;) Lovely dark teal gopher!
- krylon 11y agoImagine me making a very high-pitch squeaking sound, kind of like Kenneth from 30 Rock when he meets the cast of Night Court. That is one CUTE gopher!
- krylon 11y agoThank you, that was a fun read!
- jksmith 11y agoIf golang has this much interest in mascot images, then game over. Time to start writing all services in golang. Sorry c# and Rust, you just don't have the same swaggage. Screw generics.

- bgentry 11y agoThe Golang Gopher is a design of Renee French, and the lack of attribution here is disappointing. Wouldn't these derivative works also be covered by her copyright? https://blog.golang.org/gopher https://blog.golang.org/gopher
- jerf 11y agoThe original Gopher is licensed under the Creative Commons 3 Attribution license: https://golang.org/doc/gopher/README https://golang.org/doc/gopher/README While technically you could license your own stuff under the WTFPL, these gopher images are still CC BY 3.0 underneath that.
- arihant 11y agoI think in CC BY 3.0, as long as proper attribution is given, license of derivative works can be changed. Licensor cannot revoke adaptation rights, as long as attribution is given, even for commercial use. So the use of WTFPL is fine here, but the lack of attribution renders CC BY 3.0 non-applicable, and hence makes this repo a copyright infringement.
- jerf 11y agoThat's pretty much what I was trying to say... you can decline to add more license to your own work, and decline to ask for your own attribution, but you can't erase the underlying license and WTFPL the whole thing, as the only license.
- magnusgraviti 11y agoWe have already added licensing. Now it must be ok.
- arihant 11y agoGood that you took action. But it is still not compliant. You must link to original work by Renee. You need include link to her blog, where she posted the design. See here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ > If supplied, you must provide the name of the creator and attribution parties, a copyright notice, a license notice, a disclaimer notice, and a link to the material. For reference, here is how official Golang README puts it: > The Go gopher was designed by Renee French. (http://reneefrench.blogspot.com/ http://reneefrench.blogspot.com/)
- stuaxo 11y agoCan someone put these onto gopher ?
- magnusgraviti 11y agoI also don't think too much about licenses problem and make things instead. Please, help us to add right licenses where appropriate and feel free to add yours to keep all such artwork in one place.
- cdibona 11y ago1) the wtfpl is incompatible with the cc by that the gopher is licensed under. Please replace and properly attribute renee. 2) the wtfpl is not an open source license, or a software license, at all.
- magnusgraviti 11y agoThen we should write which images were improved from original site and our own images put with CC license?
