Hello,
I have written a chapter, Why Write With Wikis, which is due to be published in a book next year. I would like to include a screenshot of Wikibooks, specifically of http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Creative_Writing, as an example.
I'd appreciate it if someone on this mailing list could suggest how I might get permission (or at least some acknowledgement) to include the screenshot in the book chapter. Thank you for your time and effort!

If you wish to include the Wikibooks logo (which is both copyrighted and trademarked), you will have to make a claim of fair use (or something equivalent outside the US).
If you don't need the logo, you can cut it out (or remove the sidebar, which usually looks less weird) - then the screenshot would be freely licensed: the page content can be reused under the CC-by-sa license, which expressly permits you to reuse it as long as any derivatives are likewise licensed, and you give credit. In the case of a screenshot, I would /think/ a URL to the page it is a screenshot of would be sufficient, but I can't be sure.
