So should I upload the [[:Category:WikiLogo|logos]] of various [[ | So should I upload the [[:Category:WikiLogo|logos]] of various [[:Category:All|wikis]], or should ask for and wait for explicit [[:Category:Copyright|copyright]] permission from the [[owner]]s? The [[Special:Upload|upload page]] wants me to check a box saying I relicense the image to the WikiIndex copyright, but clearly I can't do that, as (1) i don't own the images, and (2) there is no [[WikiIndex:Copyright]] yet. Can we just put something like "...or is a logo (in which case we may use it under the [[WikiIndex:Fair Use|fair use]] doctrine)" at the end of that checkbox? --[[User:BayleShanks|BayleShanks]] 00:50, 15 Feb 2006 (EST) | ||
That's a good question. Here's [[wp:Wikipedia:Logos|Wikipedia on Logo usage]] and its [[wp:Wikipedia:Fair use|Fair Use]] guideline. I think we need to read it carefully and see if we feel the same should apply here. --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Rathbone|talk]]</small> 03:15, 15 Feb 2006 (EST) | That's a good question.

According to Wikipedia, there are a few "blanket categories" of copyrighted images whose use has been generally approved as likely being fair use when done in good faith. Those include corporate logos. I think that since our usage is in an effort to describe the wiki and make it easier for people to recognize a particular wiki, our usage would be considered "[[WikiIndex:Fair Use|fair use]]". But in any event, if someone objects, we should take it down right away. --[[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Rathbone|talk]]</small> 00:57, 16 Feb 2006 (EST) | According to [[English Wikipedia]], there are a few "blanket categories" of copyrighted images whose use has been generally approved as likely being fair use when done in good faith.
