Request for Copyright Permission
Copyrighted Image use for encyclopedia project
I am writing on behalf of Citizendium, a new wiki-based encyclopedia project founded by one of the co-founders of Wikipedia. The website is http://en.citizendium.org/.
On the Citizendium project, I am creating articles on Aerospace companies. I feel that the articles could be significantly improved with images such as a company logo and other important educational images you can provide, to illustrate your company on this site.
Citizendium does not currently allow images to used under "fair use", and before uploading any images, I and Citizendium need explicit permission from the copyright holders (i.e. your company) to do so. Would it be possible for you to grant Citizendium permission to use your logo and other images you can provide?
Respectfully,
Robert Winmill

Text: I spoke to John Carmack about this on Tuesday, and he said you are welcome to use any Armadillo photo on the Armadillo web site (www.armadilloaerospace.com) in your Citizendium project as long as they are credited "courtesy Armadillo Aerospace."
