Copyright Information
compiled from DKG web/editor training and other sources (see notes)
Photographs that you take yourself (or other people take and have shared with you by any means) are always OK to use in DKG newsletters and websites, as long as the subjects pictures have no objection.
Just because you can find it on the web, doesn't mean it's OK to INCLUDE it in your newsletter or website. (Even if you "purchased" an image with a package of design software, you need to check the license - yes, you need to READ it before you click "OK". All licenses are not equal!)
Here are some ways to find clip art that is legally OK to use for any DKG publication. Using images from any other source may jeopardize the entire Society, chapter, state, and International.
