Have you heard anything back regarding this? Burgundavia (✈ take a flight?) 05:01, May 16, 2005 (UTC)

No, I haven't sent the letter because I don't know where to find it. Alphax ^τεχ 09:26, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Hmm, ok, I am going to go to Phase II with this. Burgundavia (✈ take a flight?) 09:32, May 16, 2005 (UTC)

Found it - Wikipedia:Boilerplate request for permission. Who should it be sent to? There are two possibilities - images at noao dot edu - or - outreach at noao dot edu - which would be better, and how should the letter be worded? Alphax ^τεχ 15:31, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Just ask them to release it under the cc-by-sa 2.0. That is simple, easy to understand license, that is clearly free. Burgundavia (✈ take a flight?) 09:19, May 30, 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, didn't see this until today - I've sent the letter (a modified version of Neutrality's semi-formal image request) asking them to release it under GFDL or cc-by-sa-2.5 (yes, there is a new version!). Alphax ^τεχ 18:03, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yes, that means commercial. I suspect the answer is going to be no. Burgundavia (✈ take a flight?) 19:36, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for all the work on these. Burgundavia (✈ take a flight?) 18:10, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

As I suspected, the answer was no. Or rather "Since under your GNU Free Documentation License images can be reproduced for commercial purposes and may be modified - we decline your offer to include our NOAO images in the Wikipedia at this time. Thank you." Deletion time then. Alphax ^τεχ 16:50, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for tracking this down. Image is (unhappily) gone. Burgundavia (✈ take a flight?) 23:19, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
