I just called the Democratic National Committee to ask if they would be willing to licence some of their images under the GFDL (I was hoping to get a photo for [[Terry McAuliffe]]). Anyway, the person I spoke to said that "We probably won't have any problems licencing them to you", but wanted it in writing. So, I have a question regarding image copyright.
Does an email constitute permission to use these? And should I store it? That is, what format is necessary for the permission?
The even better news is this: when I called, I launched into my little shpiel about how "I'm calling on behalf of the Wikipedia, we're trying to put together a free-content encyclopedia". He stopped me in the middle of my sentence and said "Of course I've heard of the Wikipedia." It kind of made my day.

Fabulous! But licensing them to us, is not the same as licensing under the GFDL...
