Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-wallpapers

The 'Dawn of Ubuntu' Wallpaper was licensed incorrectly and subsequently removed from FeistyFawn and later packages. I will work with the creator, Armin Ronacher, to properly license his work Creative Commons -by 3.0.

The 'Dawn of Ubuntu' wallpaper has been much requested and missed in newer versions. I see no reason for it not to be included as an alternate background. Once it is correctly under CC it can be decided if it will be included or not.

"So why is that wallpaper not in ubuntu any more? The reason is a misunderstanding and my own personal lack of license knowledge. I released it with a limited CC license which was not compatible with the ubuntu license, just that nobody noticed till (edgy? feisty?) no idea. Anyhow. If someone is missing that wallpaper, you can find it in the art section. And if one wants to have that in ubuntu again, file a bug in launchpad. I will do my best then to resolve that licensing issue."

Armin has re-licensed his image:

Which I understand is acceptable for consideration in Ubuntu.

Well if it was relicensed, can it go back in for Intrepid? This is indeed a beautiful wallpaper.

The fact that the wallpaper had been removed was the reason to file this bug in the first place.
