Thanks for the welcome ! Hey I am having a problem with the correct tagging of images for my wikibook. There were flagged as "You've uploaded a derivative work" message. The image was showing how-to installation of an Open Source Application (we developed) using Open Source Software called Palo by Jedox (downloadable for free). Image was screen shot showing steps how to download and correctly install on user's computer. Can You Help ??


 * I will do my best. The feeling is (I think) that since you were not the one to design the interface, buttons, etc then images of the software are actually derived from the the work of the programmers.  Though screen shots of free software are allowed.  When uploading a file at commons  choose the sixth bullet "It is a free software screenshot".  On the next page choose "GNU General Public License (GPL)", I am trusting wikipedia to get the license correct on this.  This should get the correct tag put on the image.  Once you upload one file and see what the correct tag looks like you can copy it to the "edit this page" just as you can here and copy the code and copy it to the other images you've uploaded.  Updating appropriately of course.  But the people at commons might be more helpful than I. You can try asking at their Village pump.  Thenub314 (talk) 09:44, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
