New subject: Fwd: [Commons-l] CC-BY-SA Photographs of mathematicians

18 Apr 2008

Passed to wiken-l, where someone will no doubt find it exciting.

(I threw in the one mathematician I know offhand we have no
illustration of. It came back with one of him in 1974 - looking
hilariously young - under a free license. I can see an evening of
updating articles ahead...)

"The Oberwolfach Photo Collection -
Photographs of Mathematicians from all over the world

"The Oberwolfach Photo Collection is based on Prof. Konrad Jacobs'
(Erlangen) large collection of photographs of mathematicians from all
over the world. In the 1950's Prof. Jacobs started to make copies of
the photographs he had taken and donated these copies to the MFO. In
2005 he transferred his whole collection completely with all rights to
the MFO.

"The Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach gGmbH (MFO) owns
the copyright to most of the images used on this website. Those images
labelled with "Copyright:MFO" can be used under the Creative Commons
License Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 Germany."

Note that photos like this <http://owpdb.mfo.de/detail?photoID=9473>
which say "Copyright: George M. Bergman, Berkeley" are NOT CC-BY-SA!
Only ones like this <http://owpdb.mfo.de/detail?photoID=2598> which
say "Copyright: MFO".

Please fwd to mathematics wikiprojects where relevant.

cheers
