[edit] Request for Permission Exchange

I sent the following email (via Flickr's message system):

Dear Franklin & Marshall College Photographer:

I am an editor of Wikipedia (wikipedia.org), a multilingual project to create a complete, accurate, and open-content encyclopedia. Volunteers from around the world collaboratively edit Wikipedia, which is one of many projects of the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation (wikimediafoundation.org). We depend on photography to clearly illustrate our articles.

I enjoyed your excellent photographs at your website (http://flickr.com/photos/fandm/145732462/). However, we can only use your material if you are willing to grant permission for it to be used under terms of the GNU Free Documentation License (GNU-FDL, or GFDL for short). This means that although you retain the copyright and authorship of your own work, you are granting permission for others to use, copy, and share your materials freely, and even potentially use them commercially, so long as they do not try to claim the copyright themselves, or try to prevent others from using or copying them freely (e.g., "share-alike"). You can read this license in full at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License.

Please do note that your contributions may not remain intact as submitted; this license, as well as the collaborative nature of our project, also entitles others to edit, alter, and update them at will, i.e., to keep up with new information, or suit the text to a different purpose. However, the license also expressly protects authors "from being considered responsible for modifications made by others."

If you do agree to grant permission for use, we will credit you, state the image was based on your work and is used with your permission, and provide a link back to your website.

You are obviously an expert photographer. I hope you will consider accepting our request.

I received the following reply (via Flickr's message system):

I am the assistant web manager at Franklin & Marshall College. Maintaining the College's flickr account is one of my duties. The photo which you requested for your article was taken by our staff photographer Marcy Dubroff. You are welcome to use it, but please credit her personally. Also, can you send me a link to the article after you post it?

Best,

Tim Brixius
