Is there permission to use this image? --Robert W King 18:34, 27 January 2008 (CST)

I'm not sure...please see http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Image_talk:GENe_expression.jpg/Permission

I wrote them an email to try and clarify the terms (and to shamelessly solicit help with the article. :-) I won't use it in the article until I hear back...I know I should have waited to upload but hey, I was on a roll...--David Yamakuchi 19:06, 27 January 2008 (CST)

I'm pretty sure we're breaking this clause of the license:

I asked specifically about the *it is not supplied as part of another work or publication in the email, and I have already credited the copyright to Wellcome Trust, whose charter states that they are "to advance and promote knowledge and education".

Now, I'm not a lawyer, and I don't want to be one. That is why I asked before using it in the article. But since I didn't alter the image and I haven't used it in the article yet, just for "access by others within your organisation", I think we might still be OK...perhaps :-)--David Yamakuchi 19:32, 27 January 2008 (CST)

You're right, I may be jumping the gun--but I'm all about CYA for the most part. --Robert W King 19:33, 27 January 2008 (CST)

Understood, and thanks for looking out for us...--David Yamakuchi 19:35, 27 January 2008 (CST)
