Gopher 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

My Gopher has always made intense and direct eye contact: http://i.imgur.com/8THC2th.jpg :)
Imagine 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!

#13The 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
The lack of attribution here is refreshing. I am sick of living in a world where all ideas have to be meticulously accounted for.

It is also against the spirit of CC, and also against CC BY 3.0, which Gopher is licensed under.
If you don't like attributing, do not use things licensed under CC. It's that simple.

The original Gopher is licensed under the Creative Commons 3 Attribution license: 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.
I 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.

#16Hey 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

#17I 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.

1) 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.

Then we should write which images were improved from original site and our own images put with CC license?

That'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.
