Comet C/2006 P1 (McNaught). Image taken from North Head at Sydney Harbour, Sydney, Australia on the evening of January 16, 2007.
Dear Gunther2:

Please forgive me for writing you related to the photograph published here:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c9/Comet_mcnaught_sydney_2007.jpg

It is not my intention to annoy you with communications like this one, but I want to use that photograph in commercial publishing projects.

Right now I have established a link between the photograph and a commercial webpage of mine, available here:

http://www.naturapop.com/articulos/el-gran-cometa-que-casi-nos-lo-perdimos

With this technical arrangement no reproduction is taking place and no file is being transferred. But in the future I would like to actually copy that file in order to publish it commercially by my own means, in Spanish, English, Portuguese and other languages.

Unfortunately, I have had some negative experiences with the "Creative Commons" and similar free licenses (people backing from the free-commercial-use of the license, vandalism concerning the true author of the photograph, etc.)

Therefore, much to my regret, I am forced to ask you a written statement granting me, if you so wish, your permission to reproduce, royalty-free, in a non-exclusive, non-time-limited, worldwide fashion, the photograph that you credit to you.

I am hereby asking you your kind permission to reproduce and distribute that photograph in my printed book, in an electronic version of my book and in other associated mass distribution media, for example my aforementioned Internet Website. Please note that these are commercial ventures. Of course and as expected, full credit will be given where it is due and appropriate copyright claims or notices related to that photograph will be included. I think that my visitors will find also a very valuable information, if you decide to disclose it, your real name, instead of your pseudonym.

Once again, please excuse me for stretching your patience, but I would really be glad if I could count with your kind written permission. Thank you very much for your diligent attention.

Sincerely yours,

Aldo Loup.

I will be awaiting your written reply at my personal e-mail address: aldoloup@hotmail.com

P. S.: In case you are not the sole and only copyright owner of the requested material so that these copyrights are shared with others, I would appreciate any information you can provide me about anybody else I should contact.
