We are happy to grant you permission to use DSS images from the UKST (i.e.
southern sky images). There will be no charge for this but we would like
the acknowledgement (given below) to be inserted at some suitable place.

You might also wish to check the images from the "Southern Sky Survey"
(SSS) which can be found at http://www-wfau.roe.ac.uk/sss/. We can also
give you permission to use these images but the acknowledgement would be
slightly different (see (2) below). You may find that you get better
quality from some of these images than from the DSS.

Yours sincerely,
Sue Tritton

2) SSS Permission

We are happy to grant you permission to use images from the UKST (i.e.
southern sky images) as measured on SuperCOSMOS. The appropriate
acknowledgement is given below:

Dear sirs,
 
I'm Roberto Mura, Sysop and Bureaucrat on it.wiki.x.io. We are trying to obtain the permission to use the sky images available on wikisky.org (http://www.wikisky.org/) in order to explain deep-sky objects, in particular the GMCs in Milky Way Galaxy. In this page http://gsss.stsci.edu/Acknowledgements/DataCopyrights.htm are the surveys used to obtain wikisky's images. So far we have obtained permission both from California Institute of Technology and from Royal Observatory Edinburgh; now we need only your permission (for "Second Epoch Survey") for using wikisky's images. 
 
Theese are the obtained permissions from California Institute of Technology (POSS-II) and Royal Observatory Edinburgh (original e-mail, in english):
 
http://it.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Autorizzazioni_ottenute/POSS-II
http://it.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Autorizzazioni_ottenute/SSS
 
In particular, in DSS/SSS permission is included the work taken from Schmidt Telescope. If you think this last permission is comprensive of your work too, please e-mail me.
 
Otherwise, to make use of copyrighted (not free license) works we need a written permission from you, to be sent to permissions-it[at]wikimedia[dot]org. This is because normally Wikipedia can accepts only free images, like PD, free CC, etc, because Wikipedia can be used by others for commercial purposes. If we host not free images, we have to write it through the usage of particular "templates", so the usage of those images for commercial purposed by others will be strictly prohibited.
 
We will be very grateful if you can grant tu us your permission for "Second Epoch Survey". This is the form that we need:
 
----
I hereby assert that I am the creator and/or owner of the exclusive copyright of [WORK].
I agree to publish that work for Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia.
I am aware that herewith I am granting only to Wikipedia the right to use the work; all commercial use of this work taken from Wikipedia by others remain prohibited.
I am aware that I always retain copyright of my work, and retain the right to be attributed.
I am aware that the license only concerns copyright, and I reserve the option to take action against anyone who uses this work in a libelous way, or in violation of personality rights, trademark restrictions, etc.
I am aware that the work may or may not be kept permanently on a Wikimedia project.

After that, an "OTRS ticket" will be release; we can use your work only for divulgative purposes, any commercial use of your images taken from Wikimedia projects will be prohibited.
 
Waiting for any your reply, I say thank you in advance
