As long as we have no way of litigating as 'FlightGear Community' (a foundation or other legal body who owns the rights), the formulation doesn't need to be 100% bullet proof. It's just there to show that we care. > We don't want to prohibit the use of our screenshots in reviews > and reports about FlightGear.

They write an email to Curt or whoever can make a decision in the name of the FlightGear community, asking for permission. Nobody will refuse it for reviews/books or other 'good' use. If personally in doubt we still have the mailing lists to decide the issue community as a whole. To make it easier we can also define some forms of allowed use (together with a proper license) a priori. I.e. provide certain sets of pictures for e.g. press use.
