I believe asking nicely is considered the right thing to do. Another example is the V&A, who have a similar house rule but have been amenable to Wikimedia exposure in the past. Of course, if someone does take a picture without permission, they still own the copyright and English Heritage or whoever would then have to consider suing them. But house rules do not change copyright law. - d. _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
