I believe the basic idea is that photos much be completely free to be on wikipedia, much like the bsd license which allows a company to both use and modify without contributing back the changes. Both commercial, non commercial, and non wikipedia use much be allowed. So unless it's public domain you can't use it. Thus the terrible photos for most hollywood folks. So saying "Wikipedia may use it" is not enough. _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
