Subject: Geography Cup Image

Dear Mr. Andresen:
I am one of thousands of volunteer writers for the free encyclopedia Wikipedia. I presently am working on an article related to the Geography Cup. Your photo at http://www.geographycup.com would look great in the article.
Specifically, I would like your permission to use the image at: http://www.geographycup.com/images/splash/spash_head.jpg  
in this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_Cup 
One way to give your permission to use the above noted images is to reply to this email with the statement:
I own the copyright to the image mentioned in your email letter and found at http:// www.geographycup.com/images/splash/spash_head.jpg 
I grant permission to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, no Back-Cover Texts, and subject to disclaimers found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GFDL
Also, if you could review the article and inform me of any information that you believe is incorrect or missing, this could greatly help the article.
Thank you for your time.
Kindly, <redacted>, Wikipedia Editor

Normally we ask permission for material to be used under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License. This means that although you retain the copyright and authorship of your own work, you are granting permission for all others (not just Wikipedia) to use, copy, and share your materials freely -- and even potentially use them commercially -- so long as they do not try to claim the copyright themselves, nor prevent others from using or copying them freely.

This license expressly protects creators from being considered responsible for modifications made by others, while ensuring that creators are credited for their work. There is more information on our copyright policy at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights
We choose the GFDL because we consider it the best available tool for ensuring our encyclopedia can remain free for all to use, while providing credit to everyone who donates text and images. This may or may not be compatible with your goals in creating the materials available on your website. Please be assured that if permission is not granted, your materials will not be used at Wikipedia -- we have a very strict policy against copyright violations.
We also accept licensing under other free-content licenses like some Creative Commons licenses - see http://creativecommons.org for this.
With your permission, we will credit you for your work in the image's permanent description page, noting that it is your work and is used with your permission, and we will provide a link back to your website.
