User:Rtnf/Licensing Problem

This excerpt is taken from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse#Licensing_Problem. I brought it here, since the link is not a permalink, and i need this as a reference in the future. Lets say i have a biology book, full with species' photograph. I want to take a photo from that book, and put it on commons, so i can make a wikipedia article about that species. My question : is this act is legal, especially when we talking about the licensing issue. The book is not stating anything about the photograph's license. But, i have direct contact with the publisher of that book, if i need to ask for their permission.

Should i ask for their permission first? Rtnf (talk) 11:16, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * @Rtnf: Welcome to the Teahouse. If the copyright holder is willing to release it for use on Wikipedia, they must also be willing to let it be used by anyone for any purpose, even commercial ones. If they're still okay with that, you're going to want to direct them to Donating copyrighted materials. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 12:37, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
