Snippets from the email conversation in the OTRS ticket #2007040410020629:

>> Wikimedia requires that any images used on its projects are free to use for any
>> purposes. In particular, the following must be true for images to be used:
>>
>> 1. Commercial usage of the images must be allowed.
>> 2. There should be no restriction on the creation of derivative works from the
>> image.

>     technically most of the images in question are in the public domain
>     ... meaning both points mentioned in your email are true. We usually

e
>     Yes, we also require proper attribution. Either UW-Madison CIMSS or UW
>     CIMSS works for a shortened version.

And in response to my query regarding images not covered by the PD:

> Yes, those few images are available under the terms of the disclaimer.

The images (currently) tagged with this template are in the public domain as far as CIMSS is concerned.--Nilfanion 22:43, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
