Another issue that came up on the was license for screenshot contributions ... we frequently get requests to use screenshot on a website in articles and books. What our lawyers pointed out was that two pieces of permission are needed: - The foundation's permission to use the trademark - The permission of the person who created the image (the copyright holder) to use the image. Currently, we have no mechanism for the second. One possibility is that we should require all screenshots we post to be explicitly put under some sort of open content license (e.g., one of the http://creativecommons.org/ license.) The other possibility is that we just need to post contact information for the creator with each screenshot. Regards, Owen
