Image talk:Nostoc AZOLLAE.jpg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I got this email from the webmaster:
I started at webspinning before anyone cared about IP issues. I do not submit images to the US government for copyrights. There are implicit copyrights, but I'm not sure how good those are in any case. I generally just gatekeep the image gallery, allowing educational uses. I ask that folks credit the images and I send along credit lines. Yes, the status of the images is fuzzy, and my control of them is by default in many cases. The proper credit for this image is: Roger Burkes (University of California at Riverside), Mark Schneegurt (Wichita State University), and Cyanosite (www-cyanosite.bio.purdue.edu) You could also add a link to Cyanosite in the resources listed on the page. As for permission, you are granted permission to use this image for this usage. Cheers, Mark. >Hi, I'm writing to you about your fine image gallery at ><http://www-cyanosite.bio.purdue.edu/images/images.html>http://www-cyanosite.bio.purdue.edu/images/images.html and >more specifically, ><http://www-cyanosite.bio.purdue.edu/images/lgimages/AZOLLAE2.JPG>http://www-cyanosite.bio.purdue.edu/images/lgimages/AZOLLAE2.JPG which >I've included in wikipedia at ><http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostoc>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostoc > >If you don't approve of this use, you can let me know by email and I >will remove it (or you can edit wikipedia yourself and remove it if >you like). It would be best if the image was released under GFDL >(see ><http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights for >details), but you can just release it for wikipedia's use, if you >like. > >I'd also like clarification on the copyright status of these photos. >you gallery page says that they're uncopyrighted (meaning in the >public domain).
