Using Photo Gallery Pictures

Post by Oshein »

Hello,

I am currently in need of some gallery pictures and I wondered what the policy is on reusing them.
For example: I would leave a tag underneath saying who Uploaded the picture and a link to that photo
Thanks,
Lewis

Do you mean reusing them outside SABRE?

If so, the legal position is that copyright rests with the original photographer, who grants SABRE a licence to publish, so we can't simply say "yes", but an individual contributor could. If it comes from a third party site, like Geograph (which should be obvious from the photo tags), then you would have to comply with their requirements.
