RejuveWiki:Image use policy

Permissible image licenses
Any content you upload or post to this wiki must be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). Images that infringe a copyright are subject to deletion. Copyright information (whether the image is in the public domain or copyrighted; who is the artist/photographer; which license permits the use of this image) must be added to the image description page of every uploaded image.

You may upload images under any of the following licenses: public domain, GFDL, CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, GPL, LGPL. You are explicitly not allowed to upload images under licenses which forbid commercial use or the creation of derivative works. See Category:Image copyright tags for a list of available copyright tags.

Placing a copyrighted image or other work under a license is something only the copyright holder can legally do. So you can do this only a) if you are the copyright holder or b) if you have explicit permission from the copyright holder. If the work is in the public domain (usually this is the case when the copyright has expired, for example 19th century paintings or book illustrations), such a permission is not needed.

You are also explicitly not allowed, on this wiki, to upload copyrighted images which may be used only because of a claim of fair use.

For more information, see RejuveUniverse:Copyrights.

How to specify the source and license
Specify the source of the image in the field "Summary" on the upload file page (who is the creator and copyright holder, such as "Source: Photo taken by "). If the image was copied from some other website (e.g. Flickr, Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons), please specify the exact URL of the source. This is necessary to fulfil the terms of certain licenses, and also allows others to check and confirm the license status. Failure to specify the source URL will result in the deletion of your image if a copyright infringement is suspected.

Select the appropriate license from the drop-down box on the upload file page. Alternatively, you can also edit the image's page manually to specify the image's license status. Images without a license are subject to deletion without notice. Please use these notations to specify the license:
 * GFDL for GFDL (Usage)
 * CC-BY for CC-BY (Usage)
 * CC-BY-2.0 for CC-BY 2.0 (Usage)
 * CC-BY-SA for CC-BY-SA (Usage)
 * CC-BY-SA-2.0 for CC-BY-SA 2.0 (Usage)
 * CC-BY-ND for CC-BY-ND (Usage)
 * GPL for GPL (Usage)
 * LGPL for LGPL (Usage)
 * Permission for &copy; works with special permission to be used on this wiki (Usage)

These are templates (note the curly brackets) and will automatically create a nice looking license box and put your image into the appropriate category. The license box will look e.g. like this:

You can also dual-license images, for example by specifying both and.
