[edit] Image:Mos Def.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Mos Def.jpg. I noticed that this image came from Mosdefinitely.com and is tagged as being licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. The justification for this is given as "I was speaking to the guy who runs the Mos Def site and he said I could use any image of the site on wikipedia".

I just want to confirm that this image really is licensed under the GFDL. Mosdefinitely.com does not seem to be the official site of Mos Def; the official site appears to be Mosdefmusic.com. This makes me wonder whether the person who runs Mosdefinitely.com holds the copyright to this image; if he does not, then he cannot be the one to give permission to use it under the terms of the GFDL. Moreover, permission to use the image on Wikipedia is not sufficient. Licensing an image under the GFDL means that anyone can use or modify the image, and can use it for commercial as well as noncommercial purposes. We need to make sure that the holder of the copyright of this image is OK with people modifying the picture however they like, and possibly making money off it.

If you have more information about the licensing status of this image, please add it to the image description page. If you have any questions, please let me know. —Bkell (talk) 10:04, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
