The image may be uploaded under any free license to Wikipedia or, even better, to the Wikimedia Commons here. There are lists of specific free copyright tags at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Free licenses and Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Public domain.

You must explain who created the image (naming your source, if any) and why it’s free.

We suggest using one of the following licenses if you created the work entirely yourself. However, reading the descriptions given here is not a substitute for studying the actual licenses; be sure to know the terms of the license which you choose before uploading your image.

GFDL-self edit

{{GFDL-self}}

This license allows people to use the image for any purpose, so long as

  1. They acknowledge you as the creator of the image.
  2. If they redistribute the image as part of another work, they license that entire work under the GFDL.
  3. They include a copy of the full text of the GFDL with any re-distributed copy of the image.

The combination of 2 and 3 makes it impractical to use the image anywhere but on the Internet or in a book.

Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike edit

{{cc-by-sa-1.0}}

This license allows people to use the image for any purpose, so long as:

  1. They acknowledge you as the creator of the image.
  2. If they redistribute the image as part of another work, they license that work under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license or a compatible license.

Creative Commons Attribution edit

{{cc-by-1.0}}

This license allows people to use the image for any purpose, so long as

  1. They acknowledge you as the creator of the image.

PD-self edit

{{PD-self}}

This is not actually a license; rather, it is a disclaimer of all copyright. By releasing the image into the public domain, you permit anyone to use it for any purpose.
