[Mageia-artwork] [RFC] Artwork submission rules in the future

[Romain d'Alverny]

Hi there,

We need a simple, clear policy to follow in the future; that's a
boring part of the work, yes, but not avoidable. Here's a start:

 - a contribution is acceptable for review for inclusion if:
   - the submitter can be trusted (that's a given at first, but any
serious doubt in this matter should ring a bell),
   - the submitter provides a contact (email is a minimum),
   - a simple, explicit copyright notice, license and history notice
(if there are source works) is provided,
   - it is licensed in a way that permits free redistribution and
modification of it (CC-By-SA, GPL, or more permissive; CC NC or ND
provisions are not acceptable),

 - a submission without the above notices (copyright, license, history) is void,

 - in case of a conflict because of this submission, the submitter
must agree to be reachable and provide assistance to solve the case,

 - in case of a doubt on the originality of the submitted work, a
check-list should be designed and followed (using Web search tools,
especially image search tools);

 - artwork team manages the submissions and the clearance checks, if
any. So that the list of final contenders are clear.

By the way, for this also, could someone make a summary (or send a
pointer) of how the decision for the current background went?

An alternative to make this scalable is to restrict submissions to
artwork team members/peers, instead of relying on contests.

Thanks
