I'd like to upload a photo of you for the Wikipedia bio article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Derbyshire
I need your permission, of course. However, it's not simply matter of
granting Wikipedia the right to use your image - you must also grant
permissions to all downstream users of Wikipedia.
Here's some of the legalese:
The main legal thing that is important to explain to potential
contributors: they would be agreeing that their picture (or text)
can be used freely by Wikipedia AND its downstream users, and that
such use might include commercial use, for which the contributor is
not entitled to royalties or compensation. Wikimedia itself is a non-profit organization, and any money raised from the re-use of
Wikimedia content would go to furthering our aims - buying new
servers to keep the websites running efficiently, producing print
runs, making Wikipedia available on CD/DVD for schools and
developing countries. However, not all of those who re-use our
content are so high-minded.
Also:
We can only use your materials if you are willing to grant
permission for this under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation
License. This means that anyone will have the right to share and,
where appropriate, to update your material [i.e., the biography
page]. You can read this license in full at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GFDL
The license expressly protects authors "from being considered
responsible for modifications made by others" while ensuring that
authors get credit for their work. There is more information on our
copyright policy at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights
Which means that we need you express permission that conforms to the
clauses above. A simple
"I understand and agree to the terms of the GFDL"
will do.
Not to complain, but it's kind of hard to find a good picture of you.
I know, I know, you're just like me in that all your pictures are
terrible because they look just like you. The best I've come up with
is a cropped image of:
http://www.olimu.com/Photographs/JD,%20LRD%20on%20Petroushka%20boat.JPG
(see attached image). (I notice that imdb.com still does not have a picture of you.)
Thanks for your time and consideration.

Yeah, that one's OK, and I agree to everything yada yada.
I'd prefer my more studious look though (attached).

ny mizara – ny mandika, mizara sy manome ity vokatr'asa ity
ny mamerina – ny manova ity vokatr'asa ity
Raha manaraka ireo fepetra ireo :
mahalala ny namorona azy voalohany – Tsy maintsy manome fampahalalana arifomba momba ny mpamorona ianao, manome rohy manondro ny fahazoan'alalana ary raha nisy fiovana natao. Azonao atao amin'izay fomba rehetra azo atao izany zavatra izany, fa tsy amin'ny fomba milaza hoe manohana na manaiky ny fampiasanao an'ilay asa ilay mpamorona.
zaraina mitovy – Raha manova, mamadika na mifototra amin'ity asa ity ianao dia tsy maintsy mizara ny vokany amin'ny lisansa mitovy na mifandraika amin'ny lisansan'ny asa niaviana.
