Permission must be requested from the author(s) or copyright holders via correspondence. The image should not be put into Proteopedia until after such permission is obtained, and the permission should be explicitly stated. | Even if a journal article is open source, you have to check the license and often obtain permission to reuse figures. For examples, you may use figures with a CC-BY license without contacting the author if you attribute the source. On the other hand, you may not use figures under a CC-BY-ND (no derivatives) license. Even when the work has a restricted or no license for re-use, the copyright holder may always give you permission. | ||
