There could be no doubt about the legal status of the screenshots displayed on our webpage. If there's no explicit license, then they are automatically protected by national copyright law in countries which signed the Berne Convention. But we *want* that they be used in articles and reviews about FlightGear, so we have to give explicit permission for that.
I've written down on a wiki page what should IMHO be made clear in the future: - conditions for screenshot submitters, to which they have to agree - license terms on the screenshot page on flightgear.org, which explain how the screenshots may be used Consider that English isn't my first language, and that IANAL: http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/Submitting_Screenshots Please comment and demand changes that you consider important. If we can come to a result that everyone can live with, then I'd like to let it be reviewed by the Free Software Foundation Europe.
