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.
