Licensing
Thanks again for sharing your beautiful work with the Skybrary. I fear, however, that several of your pieces are missing licenses and are currently flagged with the No license tag. I suspect you'll recognize several of your works at Category:Files with unknown copyright status. If I can assist with helping you select an appropriate license, please let me know. --Calvin November t/c on 16:23, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I have selected the Cc-sa license for all the artworks I uploaded. Those uploaded by other users I'm not sure, I think it's theirs to decide? Thanks. Tommy Chong 18:13, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for helping clear up the backlog of unlicensed images. And thanks for making such great artwork! As far as the which images to tag, while I am not a lawyer, here is how I figure things. You, the creator of the artwork, have the copyright and the decision on the licensing. When you give that artwork to someone else, right then you should decide on the license and let the other person know. When they then upload that artwork to the wiki, or any other website, they should post the license information as well.

But, having said all that, since it is clear you are the creator of said artwork, it makes sense to me to just update the license information to the one you have chosen, even if you personally didn't upload it. This is no different than wikimaintenance of tagging obvious stuff as screenshot or whatnot.

We're trying to make the whole image uploading thing easier to figure out and get a handle on it while the number of images is still relatively small, instead of letting things get way, way out of hand. Thanks for being patient and again, for the great pics. &mdash; MrDolomite &bull; Talk 12:29, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
