Thank you, — [[User:FrJohn|<b>FrJohn</b>]] ([http://orthodoxwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:FrJohn&action=edit&section=new talk]) 06:44, August 17, 2016 (UTC)
: Thank you Father John. I hold the copyright to the icon. I commissioned a local iconographer in Ottawa to make it. As far as I know there is no other icon of the Nuns of Sharmordino. So, I do not want to give up copyright on the icon, but I do want to allow the limited sharing of a "fair use" kind with these low quality images which I have kept generally to a 300 pixel size so that it is not suitable for making copies for sale but one can still enjoy the encouragement and edifying story portrayed in the icon. Please let me know if that clears it for public display on Orthodox Wiki. Thanks. Robert. :::Hi Robert. Thanks. By posting the image on OrthodoxWiki, you are permitting distribution under the terms of both the GFDL and Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 licenses. See [[UserOrthodoxWiki:Relic67|Relic67Copyrights]] for details and links. What this means is basically you are allowing reuse and modification ''of your photograph'' (with attribution). This can be a low res image if that is what you are comfortable with, and the license grant is limited to the actual image posted. :: '''As I understand it''' it, the fact that you commissioned the icon does not mean that you hold the copyright to the icon itself. Contracted works are not "Work for hire" under US law and there would need to be an ''explicit assignment'' of copyright by the author of the work. Purchasing a physical copy does not automatically give you all rights. However, it does give you some rights, and I don't anticipate any problem posting a photo of the image, particularly one that is not high resolution—I have in mind for example [[User talkhttp:Relic67//artlawjournal.com/visual-art-ownership |talkthis article]]) 18:32, August 17, 2016 (UTC) Robertfrom the Art Law Journal.
