[FM discuss] wikipedia images

[Derek Holzer]

Answering my own post:

Apparently, we would also have to use the GFDL license:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights#Reusers.27_rights_and_obligations

Adam, any thoughts on this? My current dilemma is whether to borrow the 
illustration of waveshapes from Wikipedia, or get someone (you, Sara...) 
to make a new version.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waveform

It would sure help to be able to get images from Wikipedia and use them 
when needed, not just for myself but for future contributors.

best,
d.
