Image Copyrights

Seek Permission before downloading images.
On the internet, copyrighted works are often used without proper authorization. Many images are protected and easily tracked by rights holders. A digital image can be an original, a reproduction, a published reproduction or a copy of a public reproduction.

Examples:

  • Original - original digital artwork created with Web graphics/authoring tools
  • Reproduction - copy of an artwork
  • Published reproduction - a digital image that reproduces a work of art and is accessible from a public Web space

Calgary 2.0 knowingly accepts the following forms of image licensing:

Public Domain
Remember that most images you find on the Web are not public domain, even if they list no explicit copyright information. Images only qualify as being in the public domain if they fall under certain specific categories Ñ very old works, works by certain government employees, and works where an explicit disclaimer of copyright has been made in writing by the author.

GNU Free Documentation License
The GNU Free Documentation License (GNU FDL or simply GFDL) is a copyleft license for free documentation, designed by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) for the GNU project. It is the counterpart to the GNU GPL that gives readers the same rights to copy, redistribute and modify a work and requires all copies and derivatives to be available under the same license. Copies may also be sold commercially, but if produced in larger quantities (greater than 100) then the original document or source code must be made available to the work's recipient. GNU: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html

Free Art license
The Free Art license is the English language version of the License Art Libre, a French copyleft license for works of art. Created in July 2000, it is the first free license, in the spirit of the GNU General Public License, dedicated to works of art. Free Art License: http://artlibre.org/licence/lal/en/
