Libre emblem/design

The original emblem covered languages like English, Spanish and French for which the word "libre" has a common meaning.

 Libre This page is to standardise the wording of the libre emblem in multiple languages. The question of alternative graphics is discussed here.

The generic look shown here matches the original which already has an association built up by the Free Knowledge Foundation whose designers may change the look at some stage. The important thing here is that the wording is right.

Please help if you can speak any languages other than English and correct this page:


 * 1) First, understand that the "libre" definition has its roots in libre software and very specifically relates to freedom as defined in the free/libre software definition, the libre knowledge definition and the Free Cultural works definition.
 * 2) Propose an appropriate word in the language of interest which means the same as "libre" (free as in freedom) as text below.
 * 3) * If you have time, feel free to make an image in svg format by copying and editing the text of the one under "Current Base Image" with (e.g.) Inkscape. Use a free font for the text in the image.
 * 4) * Upload and incorporate your new SVG file on this page.
 * 5) Indicate your vote for the word by adding an indented line below it containing '+1' (for Yes) or '-1' (for No) + your signature (use the [[image:button_sig.png]] button in the editing toolbar or type ' ~ ' in the edit text field) and (optionally) a comment (see examples below).

 * मुक्त

Are these the same word: मुक्त and मुफ्त ?
 * मुक्त denotes openness and also liberation, freedom. This word is used for "Open" University. Whereas, मुफ्त, i think would mean "free" in the sense of getting something for free, at no cost. --Kalpana Gupte 05:10, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
