This seems kinda contradictory to me.

Re: Show HN: Open Logos – Free logos for open source projects
#62Are you gifting the copyright as well as the right to use the logo? Good practice is to mention this on the webpage to help people know where they stand. The two usual options are: 1. When you give the right to use the logo, you also give the copyright in the logo along with it; or 2. When you give the right to use the logo, you retain the copyright. (Edit - at least from an EU perspective, you can also "assert your…
Hey, After giving the logo, project owner can do whatever she wants with it. I'm not expecting anything from them. They can credit the project with courtesy though.
An interesting scenario would if I use one of your logos for my project. Is that logo still available to be used by others? Potentially, more than one project could be using the same logo.

The logos are being provided free of charge to an open source project of the communities choice. I don't really see how that's contradictory, they make no claim of the logos being open source.

#64A few of these are great, however if you are serious about your OSS project, IMHO you should identify one that seems like a fit, and work with the author (paying him/her) in order to start a process to reach a logo that very uniquely and precisely represents your project.
Another perspective is that you're a starving startup and grab a free logo to get started; if you ever get successful, you won't have forgotten that one logo and its artist that started you off back in the beginning, and then pay them for their contribution.

Trust me, people forget everything.

#66Some days I wake up and look at HN and see some things that give me hope from the good ol' days (started in 95 on web stuff).
Sincerely...thank you.

#67Very nice! My only thought is that I wish you'd update it every week with new designs, and then sort of open it up so others can contribute their logo's for others to use, something like a logo-bazaar with regular updates. I think you'd attract quite a few artists willing to participate akin to DeviantArt, although with a commercial twist. Bookmarked for another visit in a few months just to see what sort of progress…
Great idea. Honestly I was not expecting a big support like this. I hope the current state of the project can help some projects now and hopefully in the long term we can include new designers and help as much as project we can.
Hey, If you'd like to organize it in some sort of web format that runs weekly/monthly, I volunteer to help out with the site.

One logo can be only given to one project. This project will have all exclusive rights of the logo.
Every logo has one github issue that you can introduce your project to and claim.
Community can upvote your comment and you can upvote other projects as well under these issues.
