Authorship and intellectual property of the badges.

[lrcouto]

Hello there! My name is Laura Couto. I'm a cadet at 42 São Paulo, and I'm also the person who designed the project badges in this repo.

Those images were produced as a paid freelance contract between me and 42 São Paulo, and while I'm the author, the right of use and distribution belongs to 42 São Paulo. They are not included in any kind of free-to-use license, they belong to a private entity. While I don't mind myself having them to be distributed or used by other 42 cadets, I'm not sure of how litigious 42 is liable to be. I know they're fiercely protective of their logo and trademark. I'm not allowed free use of those badges myself, even if I designed them, because part of our contract included full cession of distribution rights to 42.

I'm only saying that because this repo is under the MIT licence, which includes free rights to modify and sell the its contents, and this is very much not the case when it comes to these badges.

Hey Laura, it’s an honour to meet with the very artist who designed those magical badges.😍 I think 42 São Paulo would be okay for students to use badges for educational purposes as a tuition free education platform.

However, what I understand they can’t be used for commercial purposes. Maybe we should change the license or maybe add a descriptive warning on the README. What do you think?

Sounds good. As long as it's explicit that those badges are property of a private entity and should not be used willy-nily, it should be fine!
