GPL – Terence Eden’s Blog https://shkspr.mobi/blog Regular nonsense about tech and its effects πŸ™ƒ Mon, 27 Jul 2026 19:34:12 +0000 en-GB hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.4 https://shkspr.mobi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/cropped-avatar-32x32.jpeg GPL – Terence Eden’s Blog https://shkspr.mobi/blog 32 32 <![CDATA[Which Copyleft Licence is Suitable for an SVG?]]> https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2026/06/which-copyleft-licence-is-suitable-for-an-svg/ https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2026/06/which-copyleft-licence-is-suitable-for-an-svg/#comments Sat, 20 Jun 2026 11:34:22 +0000 https://shkspr.mobi/blog/?p=68741 The Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format is amazing. It allows you to precisely define how an image should look. Written in XML, it uses various mathematical operations to display an image which looks crisp and clear at any size.

Here's a trivial example:

<svg height="100" viewBox="0 0 100 100" width="100" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
   <circle cx="50" cy="50"  fill="#f00" r="50"/>
</svg>

That code produces this circle:

You could print that out with a kilometre radius and it would still be a perfect circle - unlike a traditional raster image which is just a grid of blocky pixels.

But suppose you wanted to freely share your SVG with others - and ensure that they also freely share it. What sort of "Copyleft" licence would you give it?

Creative Commons

The obvious choice seems to be a Creative Commons Share-Alike licence. SVGs are images. Images are creative works. Creative Commons is suitable for creative works. Job done!

But…

SVGs are not images. The are code which produce images. If we assume that an SVG is software, this entry in the FAQ becomes relevant:

Can I apply a Creative Commons license to software?

We recommend against using Creative Commons licenses for software.

[…]

Unlike software-specific licenses, CC licenses do not contain specific terms about the distribution of source code, which is often important to ensuring the free reuse and modifiability of software.

[…]

Additionally, our licenses are currently not compatible with the major software licenses, so it would be difficult to integrate CC-licensed work with other free software. Existing software licenses were designed specifically for use with software and offer a similar set of rights to the Creative Commons licenses.

At the end of that FAQ, they also say:

While we recommend against using a CC license on software itself, CC licenses may be used for software documentation, as well as for separate artistic elements such as game art or music.

So, that's a perhaps?

GPL

But let us assume that an SVG is a piece of media rather than software. Would it be suitable to use a software licence for it?

The various Gnu Public Licences have this to say:

Can I use the GPL for something other than software?

You can apply the GPL to any kind of work, as long as it is clear what constitutes the β€œsource code” for the work. The GPL defines this as the preferred form of the work for making changes in it.

A photo JPEG might be derived from the RAW image file. In which case, the RAW is suitable for being GPL'd, not the resultant JPEG.

Similarly, the Photoshop file of a complex and multi-layered illustration would suitable, but not the outputted PNG.

An SVG can straddle both worlds. It's possible to build an SVG with layers, groups, and transformations, and then simplify it for output. You could edit the optimised version, but it's hardly the preferred format.

I read the GPL (so you don't have to) and right at the start it says:

The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works.

(Emphasis added.)

But do they mean that?

Licenses for Other Types of Works

[…]

We don't take the position that artistic or entertainment works must be free, but if you want to make one free, we recommend the Free Art License.

But, as delightful as the Free Art License is, the FSF say:

Please don't use it for software or documentation, since it is incompatible with the GNU GPL and with the GNU FDL.

Is an SVG software or not?

I think so.

  • It's written in plain text.
  • It contains definitions, variables, and instructions.
  • It can contain scripting.

That sure looks like software to me!

But, at the same time, the user experiences it as a graphic. An animated GIF, for example, contains a small amount of code-like data to say how long each frame should last for and when to stop running. Is a GIF software? Is the basic circle above software? How much code do you need before something becomes software?

Are SVGs Libraries?

Licences like the LGPL and MPL allow copyleft libraries to be integrated into non-free software.

A proprietary application could treat an SVG as a library by asking the SVG to render the output and then displaying that. A bit of a reach, perhaps?

What about embedded raster graphics?

Just to complicate things, an SVG can also contain raster graphics. That is, it is possible to embed a PNG, JPEG, or any other traditional image within an SVG.

In this case, the embedded image can be Creative Commons licenced because CC BY-SA is compatible with GPLv3.

When someone creates an adaptation of a BY-SA licensed work and includes it in a GPLv3-licensed project, both licenses apply and downstream users must comply with both licenses. However, Section 2(a)(5)(B) of BY-SA 4.0 allows anyone who receives the adapted material downstream to satisfy the conditions of both BY-SA and GPLv3 (i.e. attribution and ShareAlike) in the manner dictated by the GPLv3.

(Emphasis added.)

The barest of SVGs containing only an embedded image probably wouldn't count as software. But what if you started applying programmatic transformations to them? This SVG embeds an image and uses software to rotate it upside down.

<svg version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="64" height="64">
  <image x="0" y="0" width="64" height="64"
    transform="rotate(180)"
    href="data:image/png;base64,iVB…" />
</svg>

Is that enough code to count as software?

Wisdom of the Crowds

I conducted a rigorously accurate public survey. Here are the results:

Final Thoughts

Personally, I think SVGs are software. I understand the argument that they're suitable for Creative Commons, but I disagree with it. Even the simplest SVG is distributed in a way that its contents are executed by the computer.

While SVGs may be minified and stripped of comments, they still retain the essence of source code. I suppose you could try to obfuscate them, or package them up in a quasi-binary form, but I maintain the source is still viewable and editable.

If you choose to use a Creative Commons Share-Alike licence, it probably won't cause any harm. But given CC's reluctance to endorse its use on software, it probably makes sense to use a copyleft source-code licence.

As many many many people have said - free software is free, in much the same way as a free puppy is free.

I prefer to think of it as being free just like being given a free house is free.

Imagine that! Being given a free house would solve so many immediate problems. You'd have shelter, warmth, an administrative address, and a stake in the local community. All for free! Brilliant!

Of course, your furniture isn't going to quite fit. So let's knock down that wall. Pretty sure it isn't load bearing. Those creaking noises add character.

And, ugh! This wallpaper. Let's steam that off and give everything a nice coat of paint. Lovely. OK, we didn't have time to paint everything, so some walls are a different colour from others in the same room. We'll get used to it.

For some reason, the toilet is inside the shower. I'm sure that made sense for the old owner, but not for us. Let's re-do the bathroom. In doing so, we find that all the plumbing is a bit rotten. Can we live with that? Nah, let's unblock what we can, replace some of it, and do the rest when we have time. For some reason hot water now comes out of the stove. We'll put a sign up warning people.

Everyone has smart lights - we should too! But, it turns out that our wiring used the old standard. And we can't find anyone willing to work on it. How hard can rewiring a house be? Sure, we got a few shocks, and the whole house buzzes with static, and the new bulbs burn out quite frequently, but we added smart-tech to this old property!

We asked people in the local community if they could help with any of this - but they were so rude! OK, we weren't offering any money, and we kept asking daft questions, but there was no need to tell us to RTFM.

One prominent member of the community sent us loads of abuse. Apparently they can't be removed because no one else is as good as them at fixing all the broken windows and, besides, a code of conduct would add unnecessary drama.

Anyway, it turns out that the locks on the doors used the default key and we never bothered to change them. Someone broke in and stole all our stuff. And left surveillance cameras in the bedroom.

All analogies break down eventually - and I think I've stretched this one far enough.

Open source is a gift and a burden. If you just want to use something like Firefox as an end consumer, it is great. If you want to use something like WordPress, you're getting closer to free-house territory. Integrating a complex ecosystem of intertwined libraries into your existing systems is full-blown free-house territory.

There are no clear borders here - just a way of thinking about the cost of free.

You can't escape these problems by paying for a house. Even designing and building your own property comes with its own challenges.

You always need to understand the cost of a free gift.

Earlier this month I accidentally kicked off a minor kerfuffle over whether BMW was respecting the GPL. Their i3 car contains a huge amount of Open Source Software and there was some confusion as to BMW's compliance with the licence terms.

I took a look through the car's user interface and, hidden away, was this email address. BMW GPL Email Address

I dropped them an email. And then a reminder.

Well, today I received this letter in the post:

BMW GPL Letter-

With this ancient piece of spinning media :-) BMW GPL DVD-

That's 950MB of open source goodness!

Mirror

To save you having to get a DVD shipped to your location, I've mirrored the files on GitHub. A file tree is also provided at the end of this blog post.

Lots of interesting - and outdated - software packages in there.

Lessons

  • In my original blog post, I speculated on BMW's GPL compliance, that was irresponsible of me.
  • Large companies move slowly. It's tempting to go off on a Twitter crusade if you haven't heard back after five minutes. Patience, grasshopper.
  • Customer service agents are geared up to deal with normal queries. It's unfair to take them to task for not understanding software licences.
  • BMW would do well to set up a simple website or FTP site containing all of this data. Or, at the very least, making it more obvious how to obtain it.
  • Open Source Software is wonderful!

File Listing

You can download from GitHub - but here's a quick list of everything on the DVD. Enjoy!

]]> https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2016/03/bmw-are-complying-with-the-gpl/feed/ 2 <![CDATA[BMW and the GPL]]> https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2016/03/bmw-and-the-gpl/ https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2016/03/bmw-and-the-gpl/#comments Fri, 11 Mar 2016 12:33:53 +0000 https://shkspr.mobi/blog/?p=22561 I accidentally caused a little brouhaha last week - for which I would like to apologise.

In my blog post about BMW's unencrypted software updates, I said:

Judging from the files, it would appear that the infotainment system is made by Magneti Marelli with components by Wind River, AutoSAR, and Nvidia Tegra. Looking at the copious mentions of systemd and freedesktop it's a Linux system!

Hmmm... I wonder if they're respecting the GPL...?

I want to make it clear that, at the time, I had no evidence to suggest that any Open Source Software was being used in my vehicle. It was idle speculation on my part.

Anyway, some kind Internet stranger decided to fire off an email to BMW Australia demanding access to the source code. The customer service agents refused.

...customer must provide the 7 digit VIN and accept the usage rights agreement. Part of the usage rights agreement states that the software is protected by copyright and BMW is the sole owner. So in this case it is not subject to the requirements of a "Public" licence

BMW Australia

It would be an exaggeration to say "at which point all hell broke loose" - but there were some sternly worded tweets and comments condemning BMW for their abuse of Free Software.

Here's the thing - contacting customer services like that was entirely the wrong approach. Customer services aren't trained for the 0.001% of people who might be interested in an esoteric matter of legal licensing. Crying foul because a minimum wage rep didn't understand an obscure technical reference is counter productive.

A quick search shows a BMW Open Source site which is highly active. An email to them, or to BMW's head office, or their legal team, would have generated a far more useful reply.

As it happens, someone within BMW contacted me to explain where the Open Source Licences are within the vehicle. I'll be honest, they are well hidden - and not referenced in the user manual as far as I could see - but they are there.

Here's proof:

Now, this is a somewhat of a "beware of the leopard" situation, I grant you. But, somewhere in that mass of text is the email address you need to contact if you want copies of the code.

BMW GPL Email Address-

So, I've dropped BMW an email and will update you if/when I hear back. They may not respond - in which case we can heap opprobrium upon them - but let's give them a chance rather than flailing about and calling every scratch a palpable hit, eh?

Update! I've received a response from BMW.

I've sent them my details and will report back on what they send me.

I've recently started using DynamicWP's Simple White Theme.  The theme is excellent, but generated around 60 validation errors.  Luckily these were caused by a scant half dozen errors in the source code. Screenshots of the theme

Here is a quick summary of the errors, why they need to be fixed, and how to fix them.

Why: Target isn't a valid XHTML attribute
