[dpl.org] License of the content (need for Wikipedia)

[Alexander Malahov]

Hello everyone,

I want to add D logo to its wikipedia's article, but it requires 
license [1].

Also, russian D wiki page relys havily on the articles from the 
dpl.org (for what I've checked, 95% of the content is just 
translation). So, it would be nice, if content of the whole site 
would have some permissive license.

I'm not sure how this works, but I think you have following 
options:
1. send "Declaration of consent for all enquiries" to wikimedia 
[2]
2. add comment to the <image> in the html source
3. add comment in the beginnig of all pages' html, just under 
copyright

[1] I think it would be ok to use it under "fair use" 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fair_use), but that will 
preclude uploading of the logo to Wikimedia Commons, hence will 
require separate upload for every language (en, ru, fr, ...)
