Help! I don't get it, this copyright thingy on wikipedia. NSO (which are the copyright holder of this work) clearly state the following:
Educational/Research Use: NSO allows reproduction, authorship of derivative works, and other transformations of the original work strictly for educational and research purposes without further permission, subject to the General Conditions section stated above. Some examples of non-commercial uses for educational and research purposes are: academic curricula developed by teachers, research papers written by students or scholars, non-profit educational or non-profit research publications produced by authors or publishers, educational outreach activities composed by amateur astronomers and news media stories. For other non-commercial uses, permission should be obtained from NSO/AURA.
Thus, we can use the current image on wikipedia. However, I don't get which copyright template shall be used. To be on the safe side, I have even asked Dave Dooling who was referenced on NSO site regarding use of their materials. He stated:
Bottom line: Use the pictures so long as you give us a credit line. The spaceweather.com image came from our site, but that's OK. So long as the use is educational (which Wikipedia is; I use it a lot) and we get a credit line, use the images.
