I suppose this topic will araise sooner or later, so I start it.

• The icons on the desktop should be rearranged to group them by project

• The wallpaper could be changed to fit OSGeo branding, using the xfce theme "xfce-saltlake" I think the desktop looks good (maybe there are out there better "greenish" xfce themes, I've used one of the installed themes).

I've attached an screenshot of alpha5 with these two little changes

As discussed tonight during the weekly meeting, the default desktop artwork contains OSM data. There is a "fair use" attribution to "OpenStreetMap" in the bottom center of the wallpaper.

According to the OSM copyright page, this attribution is not proper and should include "© OpenStreetMap contributors".

However, according to the OSM legal FAQ, the artwork can be considered a "Produced Work".

3c. If I make something with OSM data, do I now have to apply your license to my whole work?

No. For example, if you have written a game or published an artistic map which includes OSM data, only the data is covered by the license. This is called a Produced Work.

However, if you make a database which includes OSM data and any additional information (including using information to decide on OSM features NOT to include in your database), then this would be classed as a "derivative database" and should be made available under the Open Database License as in 3b above. 

There is a more proper attribution now added in the welcome screen:

This makes it difficult to report disk space allocation per application.
