Right Livelihood Award[edit]

After some discussion with the Right Livelihood Award Foundation I got a clarification on the usage conditions of the photos provided on their website. The details of the discussion can be found in the OTRS, ticket 2010103110002401.

Basically, pictures (mainly portraits of the laureates) from download.rightlivelihood.org which are marked with a copyright by the Right Livelihood Award Foundation in the respective license files can be used free upon attribution of the photographer and the Foundation, i.e. Template:Attribution. All pictures with other copyrights are in general incompatible to Wikimedia Commons since the Foundation does not own all the rights and they are "free to use as long as they are used in the context of the Foundation's and its Laureates' work." In this respect, the information on http://rightlivelihood.org/press_room.html is not formulated well.

So I wonder if some kind of batch upload of these pictures make any sense, or if it is faster sorted and uploaded completely manually. --Prolineserver (talk) 22:37, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
