- Hi Akkamaru,
- It means that:
- If you are the author of the work, you can do what you want with it as you own all the rights over the image. Then you have to choose among the proposed licenses.
- If you are not the author of the work (say, it is a picture of a building, a logo, etc.), then you must request a copyright permission to the author of the work.
- If you don't know what to do, ask Wikipedia:Media copyright questions with more details: they will give you an answer corresponding to your situation.
- Hope it helps. Calimo (talk) 10:07, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
