Forum:Photo Links?

In order to use someones photos on my wiki, his licence requires that when you click the photo, that it goes to his website. Is there anyway of doing this?

Cheers

I think that this is not quite how copyright is supposed to work here under the (old) GFDL licence and/or the (new) CC-BY-SA licence. Attribution on the file page is supposed to be sufficient. Requiring a link to the website sounds more like an attempt to drive traffic to that website than it is a copyright concern. Either the image qualifies for use here, or it does not. And, if it otherwise qualifies for use here, then attribution ought to be all that is required. Either it is released for public use, or it is not. Just to be sure, I am adding staff needed to this thread. — Spike Toronto  11:15, July 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * The license of the wiki you use the file on is irrelevant. What counts is the license of the original file. The author could easily license the file under CC BY with the requirement to link to his site (Users of CC BY may choose how they must be attributed). - Tjcool007 (Talk) 11:22, July 22, 2011 (UTC)
