WikiIndex:Copyright

Ok, here is a stab at a namespace that might be more clear and possibly free up the namespace WikiIndex, for the All or Topic catoegry. MarkDilley

Can we be clear, for me what questions we have had about copyright liscences.

Copyright of Logos

Large Wikis have copyrighted logos, this has to be respected.

Wikis is non-english-Language may have copyright-notices in their language, this has to be respected.

I don't think we disagree on either point - MarkDilley

To include logos in this wiki, there should be a disclaimer, on the article- and image-page, that this logo is copyrighted by Wikimedia, USA or Stadtwiki, Germany or whoever and that the redistribution of this image is not allowed. A link to the source should also be given. If Wikimedia will accept this for the Wikipedia-logos, others will follow. --Kawana 14:23, 19 June 2006 (EDT)

Glad you brought up the issue for you. MarkDilley

Where should this disclaimer appear? I would prefer that this wiki adopt a FairUse policy for all logos across the board, disclaiming any knowledge of their individual copyrights, pointing people wanting to re-use these images to the source wikis in question to assess copyright status. Thank you very much for bringing this issue up. We clearly have the right to use the images here under "fair use" AND we also have a responsibility to make very clear that we do not own the images.
