Hi All, Hope my mail finds all in best health and spirits.
Assume that one desires to use a image from wikipedia in something s/he will sell-- for example, a elearning course OR a website template. The Wikipedia image (on clicking to see license info) says:-- (1) Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the *GNU Free Documentation License<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License> *, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.

You can help<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Image_license_migration> . --------------- What does above mean ? Can someone sue me if I use the above image ? Also, what are some of the licensing terms-- one should look for-- if one desires to re-use content ? What are some repositories of content where one can find content with licenses that are friendly to me for the above purpose ? Please do let me know... Thanks and Best Regards, NS _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
