All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIX

[robkelk]

Who's the keeper of the conduit to TV Tropes this week?

While going through rights for images, I discovered their copy of TractorBeam.jpg may have been in license violation ever since TVT started making a profit on the website. The license document is here, and it clearly states "Science and ink (also known as nearing-zero or lab-initio or strange-matter) cartoons are free for personal use, research and/or education institutions public health organizations, and non-profit users."

We might want to let them know that they might owe Nick D Kim some money... or they might not. They need to check with the rights-holder. "For minor uses, a reciprocal link may be sufficient." (Not "is", but "may be".)

(Since ATT is nonprofit and will remain so, I've marked our copy of the image with {{permission}}, listing the terms and suggested attribution, and providing a link back to the PDF.)
