Permissions / release of imagery for use in articles, blog posts, papers, case studies, etc..

[wesley-dean-flexion]

Is there a process for obtaining permissions or a release to use imagery from the Megalinter.io site in publications like articles, blog posts, papers, etc.?

Background
I'm writing an article about Megalinter and how awesome it is. My editor and illustrator really like some of the images on the megalinter.io site. They love the llama.

However, they're concerned about potential copyright issues. While I get that Megalinter is an open-source project, I would like to be cautious about using imagery, especially with the logo given the presence of the ox (i.e., mascot for Ox Security).

@wesley-dean-flexion you can use any image that you can find in the repo , while it is clearly associated to MegaLinter :)

Thanks for writing an article, I'll add it in the documentation 😍

I submitted #3596 a few minutes ago to add it to the list of English articles

I'll read it and validate the PR ASAP, many thanks <3

I've 3 more articles in the pipeline. Given that it takes a few months for them to work their way through, they probably won't surface until late summer or early fall.

@wesley-dean-flexion I might give you new material for new articles... :p

😮 Grafana! Very cool!!!

Sorry to keep editing this (better than spamming with lots of notifications, right?).

What a great idea. Such a great idea. My mind is racing with places where this'll be applicable.

@nvuillam the article is due out 9 May. I'm already working on two follow-up articles. I'll happily provide links as they become available. Thank you for your support! 😄
