Same goes with children or any person on photos,</div><div>there you need "model release" (ie. the person's signature that his/her photo</div><div>can be used for various purposes).</div><div><br></div><div>I really don't know how is it with photos not being sold but given your call has</div><div>"Konqi from Silicon Valley" or "City of Bangkok" or "Children wallpaper" (not sure</div><div>if you meant actual children :), I think it's better to stay on the safe side and specify</div><div>a bit more what the background can be than later be sued by cities and stuff.</div><div><br></div><div>And finally, you do require a model/property release for anything that's even remotely</div><div>identifiable. Basically if the person can recognize it's him/her (even if there's just a leg</div><div>with special shoes) or if the owner of the property can recognize his/her property,</div><div>you need a release :) See [1] for more details.</div><div><br></div><div>So, there's that :)<br></div><div><br></div><div>[1] - <a href="https://iso.500px.com/10-photos-you-wouldnt-think-need-model-releases-but-do/">https://iso.500px.com/10-photos-you-wouldnt-think-need-model-releases-but-do/</a><br></div></div><br clear="all"><div>Cheers</div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102)">Martin Klapetek | KDE Developer</span></div></div>
