copyright

I hate to keep being inflexible on this, and I am considering some changes which will make it easier to use copyrighted works with permission. But as of now, I'm afraid I can't take your word, or even the word of the pastor, that the creator and copyright-holder of this photograph has, in fact, released all rights to it. A dedication to the public domain is a very specific and irreversible legal action for which I am not certain the pastor's word is enough to hold us harmless in case another party (the original photographer or printer of the brochure) later claims to have rights.

For now, I'll leave the image here, with the explanation, but not display it on the article page. The best alternative is still to take our own photos. At the same time, I'll try to get cracking on a solution to the licensing conflict between our Creative Commons license and the obvious benefits of reproducing works that people give us permission to show. Sorry for being so hard on this, but I don't have a lawyer and just can't take much risk right now. --Dystopos 18:50, 26 November 2006 (PST)
