(Live) dEUS photos for Wikipedia article

Postby husky on Sat 15 Oct, 2005 12:47

Hello everyone,
i'm currently writing the article about dEUS on the dutch wikipedia, a free encyclopedia anyone can edit: http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEUS. Of course i would like to accompany the article with a picture, however, i can't just pick any picture i find on the internet (or this website) because they are usually copyrighted and wikipedia requires that the photograph are released under a so-called 'free license'. Which usually means a creative commons (http://www.creativecommons.org) or GNU Free Document License (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GDFL).

What this essentialy means is that the photographer gives permission to copy or change the photo without having to ask permission or pay a fee to the photographer first. The reason i'm posting here is because i would like to ask you if anyone has a photograph you made of the members of dEUS (for example during a concert) they would like to share with the Wikipedia community so it can be used with articles. Aside from the Dutch wikipedia the photograph could also be used for other wikipedias such as the German, French or Japanese version.

If you're wondering why the English wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEUS) does have a photograph that's because in America they have a 'fair use' law which permits using photographs for non-commercial purposes.

So, if anyone whould like to share a dEUS photograph please post in this thread or mail me at huskyr at gmail dot com.
