Hello,

I have some correspondence with the Canadian photographer Jean Marc Carisse to license one of his photos for free use by of the licenses that Wikipedia support. He sent the photo to my email, but with an attached copyright notice that he insists it remains there on the actual image. I'm having hard time explaining to him that it's even useless, since licensing the photo for free use would mean the ability to modify it, provided that owner copyright is maintained.

Does Wikipedia allows publishing photos that contain copyright notices stickied to them, rather than on the image's page?

Regards, Usamah
