NASA images of User:Huntster

[edit]

All of the images are sourced to Flickr account nasa hq photo's photostream and have a CC-BY-NC license which is not allowable on Commons. User:Huntster believes that "NASA-created images are without copyright", however that is not always the case. I contacted the owner of the Flickr account and inquired about it, they told me they are a NASA contractor (ie. not NASA) and the images are not allowed to be used for commercial purposes (specifically the endorsement of a product or service). I can't link to my exchange on Flickr's email service, but if someone wants access to my Flickr account to verify this discussion took place. This is supported by the JPL Image Policy page which says "restrictions are placed on commercial uses" for images where the "ownership [is] by parties other than JPL and NASA is noted in the caption material" - these images have a caption of "NASA/Bill Ingalls". Bill Ingalls is a commercial photography company. It is further supported by the findings of Wikimedia Legal at Wikilegal/NASA images - see section "Images Created in Part By NASA". Due to all these findings I believe there is reasonable doubt that these particular images are allowed on Commons. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 15:23, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
