From Wikipedia:Copyright problems

I uploaded Image:RomanChariot.jpg, Image:ByzantineChariot.jpg, Image:RomanChariotBig.jpg, Image:ByzantineChariotBig.jpg, Image:Krak1.jpg, Image:Krak2.jpg, and also Image:GreekChariot.jpg, Image:GreekChariotBig.jpg, Image:PatroclusChariot.jpg, and Image:PatroclusChariotBig.jpg, which may be problems. Unfortunately I didn't think to make copies of the e-mail exchanges, but the Roman chariot picture is an ancient mosaic and the website's claim to copyright may be spurious. Same for the "Patroclus" and "Greek" ones. The Byzantine chariot pic and the pics of Krak des Chevalier are a bit more difficult - the people who took the photos said we could use them, and they seemed to understand the license, but if that's not good enough then I guess removing them is the only option.

A claim of fair use may be in order then - that is one reason why those were the only images I did not remove from the article. --mav 22:05, 3 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

The site appears to be trying to present an accurate rendition of an out of copyright Roman period work, so I see no potential for a valid copyright on the public domain mural Image:RomanChariot.jpg and Image:RomanChariotBig.jpg. Same for Image:GreekChariot.jpg, Image:GreekChariotBig.jpg, Image:PatroclusChariot.jpg, and Image:PatroclusChariotBig.jpg. No creativity so no fair use - no copyright at all - public domain.

I'm happy to accept the statement from Adam that he requested permission, was granted permission by those who understood the license and that the images Image:ByzantineChariot.jpg Image:ByzantineChariotBig.jpg Image:Krak1.jpg Image:Krak2.jpg are therefore released under the GFDL.
