English: I emailed the author asking for permission to use an image from his/her webpage (concerning a Family Forum march that opposed same-sex marriage in Spain), permission was granted to use any image we wished from the page (in Spanish). I'm uploading a picture from there for which general (not specific) permission was granted (its url is
http://www.carlaantonelli.com/nino%20contra%20homosexuales.jpg).
>>Hola Maria, ok, no hay ningún problema en que podáis utilizar el material de la Web www.carlaantonelli.com. Tenéis nuestro permiso. Agradecer que nombraras el Diario Digital Transexual www.carlaantonelli.com

Subject: Permission to use picture in Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dear Carla Antonelli/Webmaster:
I am one of thousands of volunteer writers for the free encyclopedia Wikipedia. I presently am working on an article related to Same-Sex Marriage in Spain. Your photo at http://www.carlaantonelli.com/noticias_junio2005.htm would look great in the article.
Specifically, I would like your permission to use the image at: http://www.carlaantonelli.com/portada_pais_matrimonio_homosexual_congreso_dipuatdos3.jpg in this article: http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Same-sex_marriage_in_Spain
One way to give your permission to use the above noted images is to reply to this email with the statement:
I own the copyright to the image mentioned in your email letter and found at http://www.carlaantonelli.com/portada_pais_matrimonio_homosexual_congreso_dipuatdos3.jpg
I grant permission to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, no Back-Cover Texts, and subject to disclaimers found at Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GFDL
Thank you for your time and Happy 2007!
Kindly,
Maria aka Raystorm

This means that although you retain the copyright and authorship of your own work, you are granting permission for all others (not just Wikipedia) to use, copy, and share your materials freely -- and even potentially use them commercially -- so long as they do not try to claim the copyright themselves, nor prevent others from using or copying them freely.

This license expressly protects creators from being considered responsible for modifications made by others, while ensuring that creators are credited for their work. There is more information on our copyright policy at: http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights
We choose the GFDL because we consider it the best available tool for ensuring our encyclopedia can remain free for all to use, while providing credit to everyone who donates text and images. This may or may not be compatible with your goals in creating the materials available on your website. Please be assured that if permission is not granted, your materials will not be used at Wikipedia -- we have a very strict policy against copyright violations.
We also accept licensing under other free-content licenses like some Creative Commons licenses - see https://creativecommons.org for this.
