I have a bit of a tricky copyright question. Recently
I decided that I
would like to create a derivation of the Wikipedia logo for personal
use soley on the Wikipedia site, after seeing that it was copyrighted
to the Wikipedia foundation I emailed Jimbo asking for formal
permission to use the image as a part of the future work. I have not
recieved any reply and so I decided to continue assuming that since
there are already other works based off the Wikipedia logo on the site
it would be ok and I could deal with tagging later.. I have since
uploaded the work and amd wondering whether it is a copyright
violation or not and if not what it should be tagged since it doesn't
seem to fall under any of the licensing schemes. BTW, the image can
be found at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Darkwiki.jpg.
I think that "for personal use soley (sic!=solely?) on the Wikipedia
site" is key here. As long as the use remains on the Wikipedia site it
can't possibly be a copyvio.
