Copyright status
* public domain: copyright expired * placed in public domain by photographer * released under the GFDL * released under the GFDL - in response to the boilerplate request for permission, Fred Jones said "That'd be fine" * copyrighted image - the author has given Wikipedia permission to use this image, but third parties may not use it without permission * copyrighted image - may only be used under "fair use" rules
Images in these last two categories cannot be distributed under the GFDL license and as such their inclusion in Wikipedia is extremely dubious. It is recommended that you instead link to a page with the image hosted on another server if you cannot obtain explicit permission to redistribute it a GFDL-compatible license. If you do upload "fair use" images here, keep in mind that they may all be removed at some point if the project gets a clear legal opinion on the matter. ---
