Hello. It's not a good idea to pass off work as entirely your own when it is based on the work of others. However, that said, I do appreciate the SVG image! - Ta bu shi da yu 00:32, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
I did not intend to pass the work off as "entirely my own", because it is a derivative of the bitmap it replaced (intentionally, as it was tagged to be replaced by SVG!). The bitmap was not automatically converted to SVG. I spent time making the diagram to look like the bitmap and went to the original source to complete the diagram in SVG, because some minor elements were missing, including where "foomatic" fits into the picture. I welcome suggestions on how I can correctly represent SVGs that are designed to replace bitmaps (that are tagged as such). As far as I understand, I must relicense under the same license as the original, but what else should I do? Davis080 12:17, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
I have made additional corrections which I believe fix the issue. I apologize for the errors, which were due to my inexperience and ignorance. Please see the discussion page for the image Image_talk:CUPS-block-diagram.svg. Davis080 15:45, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- It's cool... I, for one, very much appreciate your work. Sorry if I jumped down your throat, it's possible I was having one of my all-to-frequent bad days :( Ta bu shi da yu 05:29, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
