Alternate Bliss

Post by Pisarz »

Okay, so everyone knows the bliss wallpaper from Windows XP. And on the Wikipedia, there is photo of this location, taken in 2006. As we are trying to make a Windows clone, alternative version of Bliss would be quite great after all.

So I've resized this photo and improved colors a bit, so we have our own clone of Bliss.

Besides the fact that the image is copyrighten and MS paid for it, which we have not? You can't just go and change something and claim the right to use it however you please.

Correct me if im wrong, but the photo I've improved a bit wasn't "Dual-licensed under the GFDL and CC-By-SA-2.5, 2.0, and 1.0" as Wikipedia claims?

I don't think I'm halucinating right now... And is it my mind, or my computer, that seams to alter the data a bit... Or I'm just reading it correctly and you are wrong...

I read "clone of Bliss" and assumed you were modifying the one included with XP. My bad.

I have already mentioned that pic to Fireball year ago, as well as few weeks ago. I still think that we should switch for Bliss real photo as our default wallpaper.
