Thanks for your ideas Tomos and Daniel

The article's going to be published in a book, and so I can't do it just the way I'd want to....

The photo I want to reprint is basically a screenshot of this page: http://flickr.com/creativecommons/by-2.0/tags/train/page4/

and were I doing it on my own, I'd call it fair use, because it's in a scholarly article on distributed narratives, but the publisher want to err on the side of caution, so fair enough.

I'm asking Flickr.com for the right to reprint the composite image, and figure I should credit the individual photographers - so I guess this would be OK?

"Figure 2: Photos tagged with "train" at Flickr.com. Photographs taken by Jakob
Rask, Kris, Phillip Capper, Z Rahen, Jos&#65533; Cuerva, David Bleasdale, Art Vandelay
and Johndan Johnson-Eilola. Flickr.com, accessed 3 May 2005."

"Figure 2: Photos tagged with "train" at Flickr.com. Photographs taken by (from left to right, top to bottom) Jakob
Rask, Kris, Phillip Capper, Z Rahen, Jos&#65533; Cuerva, David Bleasdale, Art Vandelay
and Johndan Johnson-Eilola. Some rights reserved*. Flickr.com, accessed 3 May 2005."

with a footnote

Sound about right?

Hi. I am not a lawyer, and below is just my personal opinions.

First, I interpreted that you will create a collective work based on
multiple photos.

Next, reading 4a. and 4b. of the license, I see the following requirements
(please refer to the original license text for more details, because below is
edited by me quite a bit):

4a.
a1) include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, this License
a2) keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer of warranties.

4b.
b1) keep intact all copyright notices for the Work
b2) give the Original Author credit reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing by conveying :
-b2.1) the name (or pseudonym if applicable) of the Original Author if supplied;
-b2.2) the title of the Work if supplied;
-b2.3) to the extent reasonably practicable, the Uniform Resource Identifier, if any, that Licensor specifies to be associated with the Work, unless such URI does not refer to the copyright notice or licensing information for the Work;
-b2.4) and in the case of a Derivative Work, a credit identifying the use of the Work in the Derivative Work


Your suggestion is as follows:
"Figure 2: Photos tagged with "train" at Flickr.com. Photographs taken by Jakob
Rask, Kris, Phillip Capper, Z Rahen, Jos&#65533; Cuerva, David Bleasdale, Art Vandelay
and Johndan Johnson-Eilola. Flickr.com, accessed 3 May 2005."

And here is what I think:

A) I think it is perhaps safer to give credits in a way that readers can
tell which work (photo) is taken by whom.

B) It is necessary to include license URIs and license & warranties notices,

C) Other things should be there in a way "reasonable" to the medium.
I speculate it might mean to use caption to convey essential info., and
use some footnotes, endnotes, or appendix to convey other info, if it is
a book.

C) Suppose my speculation is correct, titles of works, and URIs associated
with the works could be reasonably accomodated in one way or another.

How does that sound?

Best regards,

Tomos
