Images, Flickr and copyright
Wikipedia prides itself on being a free source of information. Wikipedia itself is copyrighted, but it's reuse is licensed under a CC BY-SA 3.0 license, which permits reuse and or modification for any purpose whatsoever. The only requirement is attribution. The image you uploaded from Flickr of Petersburg, Virginia has a copyright restriction of no commercial reuse. Although your use of the image was not a violation of that, anything you add to Wikipedia must be licensed on license that is equivalent or less restrictive than ours. If the image file is on Wikipedia, it must be free to reuse with the only requirement being attribution for anyone, anywhere at any time. If that isn't clear enough for you (and copyright is a difficult concept; don't feel bad if it is), I'll leave you a link to a Q&A forum just for new editors. They can explain it to you there hopefully better than I have. John from Idegon (talk) 19:58, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
