Copywrite, written consent, etc, etc

A unique perspective on a big smile

From time to time, some people ask for permission to use images or something that has been posted in this blog.  So, here is how I deal with that.

Go right ahead.  It is free.

With these considerations.

Please give credit where credit is due.  Note where you found the information (www.budsimon.blogs.com) and on photos, note that the image is copywrited by Bud Simon.

Please do not use any written words or any images from this blog to misrepresent or mislead.

Please let me know via e-mail if you find something useful and are using it in another context or format.

Please do not repackage anything to sell.

This is summed up in the CREATIVE COMMONS license.  You can get into trouble by using images of people without the subject's permission.  That is governed by different laws. 

BIG thanks to my friend Ben Geyer who pointed this out in his comment.  (Hey, you can also check out some of Ben's photos on Flickr).

I hope that you find this blog a place to encourage and inform.
