Re: Rami Al Ali - Profile Image Deleted

Hello!

Unfortunately there are several issues with that authorization, the main being that we have no ways to check if the author is really Saeed Khalifa. Another problem is that "I agree and give full permission to use the photographs" deosn't mean anything in terms of copyright: a free license has to be explicitly given (For instance: "I agree to release the photographs in the Public Domain"). This is why I pointed you to the tool to produce a statement which can be unsertood easily by any operator. If you have any question, feel free to ask. --Ruthven (msg) 17:22, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

@Ruthven: I contacted the photographer and he sent in the release statement to OTRS. Can you please check to see if you received it? It's from Saeed Khalifa the photographer himself who made the release.

Looking forward to hearing from you! Thank you! --Timepoverty (msg) 22:04, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
