== Licenses ==
Dear Father,
I'm confused about whether we can import images which are currently under a CC license. Specifically, [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Patriarch_of_Constantinople_throne.jpg this image] for the [[cathedra]] article. The external links on the [[OrthodoxWiki:Copyrights]] page indicate we have as part of our dual-license the 2.5 version of the CC; should that link be updated? Also, if, when we hammer things out for a particular license or site (such as we have done with Wikipedia), perhaps we could put a "May I use information/image from X?" list which stipulates the various requirements per each source (or kind of source) for importing materials. If so, what page and/or category would be a good place for that? (We might also want to make clear what sources are not acceptable.)
In Christ,
magda
