Dear Melayne,

I am writing to confirm whether permission is granted to use the following photographs from the Edmonton Symphony’s publicity materials under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFDL ).

With the user name *[IP xxx/ Rob McAlear xxx], I have pasted in photos and text from the Edmonton Symphony website to Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia. The text concerns [Edmonton Symphony Orchestra] and the photos concern [William Eddins], [Martin Riseley], [Allan Gilliland], [Francis Winspear Centre for Music], [Davis Concert Organ], as well as logos for [Edmonton Symphony Orchestra] and [Francis Winspear Centre for Music].

This user claims on the talk pages [User talk:Rob McAlear] to *[have the authority to release this material under the GFDL/ be the original author of the material], but for the page to remain on our site, we need further evidence that this is the case. Please be assured that if you do not grant permission, your content will not be used at Wikipedia; we have a strict policy against copyright violations.

You can read the GNU Free Document License in full at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GFDL . (To keep things simple, we do not use Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts, or Back-Cover Texts.) The license stipulates that any copy of the material, even if modified, must carry the same license. This means that anyone would be licensed to distribute the material, possibly for a fee (we would distribute your work free of charge). Under the license, no distributor (commercial or otherwise) can restrict future distribution, so your work would never become proprietary. In addition, the license does not grant the right to imply your endorsement of a modified version.

Please note that your contributions may not remain intact as submitted; this license and the collaborative nature of our project entitles others to edit, alter, and update content at will, i.e., to keep up with new information, or suit the text to a different purpose. There is more information on our copyright policy at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights .

The article will be deleted in seven days time if permission is not confirmed, though it can be restored at a later date if you choose to respond later to state that such use is allowed.

Thank you for your time. I look forward to your response.

Best regards,

Rob McAlear
