The photo you include in the first link below is public domain. This photo is a studio head shot taken by a NIST employee. The description of the copyright on this page is not as clear as it should be. http://physics.nist.gov/News/Nobel/Photos/photos.html The photos in Dr. Phillips lab were taken by a commercial photographer hired by NIST. These photos are copyrighted by the photographer and a photo credit that reads, Copyright Robert Rathe, is required to appear with them. However, they can be used for free in materials that also explicitly mention the National Institute of Standards and Technology in accompanying text or a caption. These photo cannot be used as stock art -- i.e. without reference to NIST --without permission from the photographer and payment of a use fee. Hope that clears things up. Let me know if you have any other questions. Gail Porter
So, this is OK to use. Kevin Saff 00:11, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
