Hoi, Can pictures that are given to be used within Wikipedia and outside Wikipedia only in combination of the Wikipedia articles, be used. The things that come to mind are business logo's and material that the giver wants to restrict in order for it to remain within a resticted band of use.
In my opinion this is a valid restriction that does allow for our own use and allows for the distribution of material to copied versions of wikipedia's.

One needs to keep in mind the distinction between copyright law and trademark law. We can reproduce the Shell Oil logo to illustrate articles, but we could not use it to promote the new string of Wikigas stations.
