Re: Help about texture inclueded in stellarium



        *  All other planet maps from David Seal's site: 
http://maps.jpl.nasa.gov/

License for these is at http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/images/policy/index.cfm, and 
here it is:

---
Unless otherwise noted, images and video on JPL public web sites (public sites 
ending with a jpl.nasa.gov address) may be used for any purpose without prior 
permission, subject to the special cases noted below. Publishers who wish to 
have authorization may print this page and retain it for their records; JPL 
does not issue image permissions on an image by image basis. 


By electing to download the material from this web site the user agrees: 


1. that Caltech makes no representations or warranties with respect to 
ownership of copyrights in the images, and does not represent others who may 
claim to be authors or owners of copyright of any of the images, and makes no 
warranties as to the quality of the images. Caltech shall not be responsible 
for any loss or expenses resulting from the use of the images, and you 
release and hold Caltech harmless from all liability arising from such use. 


2. to use a credit line in connection with images. Unless otherwise noted in 
the caption information for an image, the credit line should be "Courtesy 
NASA/JPL-Caltech." 


3. that the endorsement of any product or service by Caltech, JPL or NASA must 
not be claimed or implied. 



 Special Cases: 


* Prior written approval must be obtained to use the NASA insignia logo (the 
blue "meatball" insignia), the NASA logotype (the red "worm" logo) and the 
NASA seal. These images may not be used by persons who are not NASA employees 
or on products (including Web pages) that are not NASA sponsored. In 
addition, no image may be used to explicitly or implicitly suggest 
endorsement by NASA, JPL or Caltech of commercial goods or services. Requests 
to use NASA logos may be directed to Bert Ulrich, Public Services Division, 
NASA Headquarters, Code POS, Washington, DC 20546, telephone (202) 358-1713, 
fax (202) 358-4331, email bert.ulrich@hq.nasa.gov. 


* Prior written approval must be obtained to use the JPL logo (stylized JPL 
letters in red or other colors). Requests to use the JPL logo may be directed 
to the Television/Imaging Team Leader, Media Relations Office, Mail Stop 
186-120, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena CA 91109, telephone (818) 
354-5011, fax (818) 354-4537. 


* If an image includes an identifiable person, using the image for commercial 
purposes may infringe that person's right of privacy or publicity, and 
permission should be obtained from the person. NASA and JPL generally do not 
permit likenesses of current employees to appear on commercial products. For 
more information, consult the NASA and JPL points of contact listed above. 


* JPL/Caltech contractors and vendors who wish to use JPL images in 
advertising or public relation materials should direct requests to the 
Television/Imaging Team Leader, Media Relations Office, Mail Stop 186-120, 
Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena CA 91109, telephone (818) 354-5011, fax 
(818) 354-4537. 


* Some image and video materials on JPL public web sites are owned by 
organizations other than JPL or NASA. These owners have agreed to make their 
images and video available for journalistic, educational and personal uses, 
but restrictions are placed on commercial uses. To obtain permission for 
commercial use, contact the copyright owner listed in each image caption. 
Ownership of images and video by parties other than JPL and NASA is noted in 
the caption material with each image.

I believe that the "Special Cases" and restrictions are all fine and 
DFSG-free.  The only issue I see is the basic permission grant.

I suspect that "used for any purpose" is intended to include redistribution, 
copying, modification, etc.  (Because of the "any purpose".)  It would still 
be a good idea to get a clarification that that is the intended meaning.
