Hey Jimmy, Do I have your permission to use the photo by Gus Freedman from Wikipedia in my book What Every American Should Know about Who's Really Running America?
As far, as I can tell this is OK to use as long as Gus Freedman is credited?
Im totally under the gun -- it's brutal what is happening at moment -- so please let me know ASAP. Love the one by Chrys but couldnt afford it!
Thanks! Melissa Rossi PS I will probably have to send some more legal signoff, but this will suffice for moment.

Gus Freedman was the photographer commissioned to take photos at Wikimania. Brad uploaded a lot of these to Commons, so I expect it's one of those she's talking about. If it is, the Wikimedia Foundation holds the copyright to those and they're released under CC-BY-SA-2.5, so the Foundation could grant the rights to use them without needing to adhere to that license if it wanted to.
