License and Attribution of the Solidity Logo?

Documentation
1

Hello, Solidity Team,

I am the author of the localizethedocs organization, which focuses on manufacturing l10n projects for documentation of open-source projects. For example:

Currently, the solidity-docs-l10n project is in the incubation phase. To place the Solidity logo at the top of the README, I need to upload the logo to the static repository and then access them via jsDelivr. I found the logo SVG files here:

I found some helpful information:

However, I would like to confirm the license of this logo and what attribution is required directly.

Hi, your question is directly answered in the docs you linked: Solidity Brand Guide — Solidity 0.8.31-develop documentation

Please let us know if something is unclear regarding them.

Hello, @clonker

How about the following attribution?

By Ethereum Foundation, licensed under CC BY 4.0.

For example:

<tr>
  <td><code>mark/solidity-dark.svg</code></td>
  <td><img src="mark/solidity-dark.svg" alt="solidity-dark" width="100"/></td>
  <td><a href="https://github.com/argotorg/solidity/blob/11be2f4881d1644f15b026d1022388f06a034a34/docs/_static/img/logo.svg">Link</a></td>
  <td>By <a href="https://ethereum.foundation/">Ethereum Foundation</a>, licensed under <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">CC BY 4.0</a>.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td><code>mark/solidity-light.svg</code></td>
  <td><img src="mark/solidity-light.svg" alt="solidity-light" width="100"/></td>
  <td><a href="https://github.com/argotorg/solidity/blob/11be2f4881d1644f15b026d1022388f06a034a34/docs/_static/img/logo-dark.svg">Link</a></td>
  <td>By <a href="https://ethereum.foundation/">Ethereum Foundation</a>, licensed under <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">CC BY 4.0</a>.</td>
</tr>

A better attribution would be `By the Solidity Authors, licensed under CC BY
4.0`. Solidity recently changed its home from the Ethereum Foundation to the Argot Collective. This phrasing is neutral to organizational changes and matches the official documentation.

If I want to hyperlink ‘the Solidity Authors’, what kind of hyperlink would you suggest? What about the following attribution?

By <a href="https://www.soliditylang.org/">the Solidity Authors</a>, licensed under <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">CC BY 4.0</a>.

That’s good! You may want to capitalize the t like The Solidity Authors, I realized I didn’t do it myself in the message. Anyways that attribution works.
