Hi Ian,

It is a relevant form, directly related to a specific publication.
For those who don't know, this is a back-burner project in the
Marketing team to produce an album as sort of a keepsake or gift,
featuring photographs of contributors and text that talks about the
Fedora Project and community.  The purpose of this conversation is to
try and get a similar release that more generally accommodates use of
photographs for use in publicizing Fedora releases, events, and other
Fedora Project work.

One of the main purposes of this discussion is to find out to what
extent *not* allowing remixing of that content affects the community's
satisfaction with it.  Thus far, I don't detect any upswelling of
dissatisfaction with limiting re-use in the context of photographs of
people.  What were your thoughts about that particular issue?
