Using your images in a book

Hi Jacob I am new to this so just wanting to check - there are a couple of your images that I would like to use in a text book- the cielab and munsell colour space diagrams Is this OK under the Creative Commons License or does it count as commercial use? Many thanks Dazeydog (talk) 07:18, 16 July 2010 (UTC)Dazeydog[reply]

They’re released under a CC-BY-SA-3.0 license. To use them, you only need to abide by the terms of that license. The important bits are:

“You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for, this License with every copy of the Work You Distribute or Publicly Perform. You may not offer or impose any terms on the Work that restrict the terms of this License or the ability of the recipient of the Work to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of the License. You may not sublicense the Work.”

and then

“If You Distribute [...] the Work [...] You must [...] keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and provide, reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing: (i) the name of the Original Author (or pseudonym, if applicable) if supplied, [...] (ii) the title of the Work if supplied; (iii) to the extent reasonably practicable, the URI, if any, that Licensor specifies to be associated with the Work, [...] in the case of a Adaptation or Collection, at a minimum such credit will appear, if a credit for all contributing authors of the Adaptation or Collection appears, then as part of these credits and in a manner at least as prominent as the credits for the other contributing authors.”

In other words, you should credit me (Jacob Rus), provide a link to the license, and provide a link to the image description page at wikimedia commons, in a “reasonable manner”. There is no restriction on commercial redistribution, as long as you meet those terms: provide a credit, and give readers the same opportunity to re-use the image under the same license.

If that doesn’t fully answer your question, I can try to clarify further. Also, out of curiosity, what’s the textbook? Who is the publisher? –jacobolus (t) 14:15, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks that is really helpful - the book is called Visual Research Methods in Fashion and will be published by Berg hopefully Jan next year - I hope to have a companion website to go with it will let you have a link when it is up and running best Dazeydog (talk) 14:26, 19 July 2010 (UTC)Dazeydog[reply]
