[Commons-l] Credits in books

[Husky]

Just to remind you: if you own the copyright on the photographs you
are in no way required to mention Wikimedia Commons or the license of
your photographs, because they are non-exclusive. You can re-release
your photographs under any license you want (including commercial
non-distributable licenses). Of course, if you want to mention Commons
/ the license, that's really cool.

I don't know how long the credit may be, but maybe something like this:
"Photographs on pages X, X, X by Rama Rama. Released under License X.
Distributed by Wikimedia Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org"
