Objet : Permission to use the photo of the kilogram prototype
Dear Sir / Madame:
I am a retired chemical engineer and would like permission to use a photo from your website in articles about the kilogram and the pound (mass) in the Citizendium online, free encyclopedia. A copy of the specific photo is attached below and it was obtained from your website page at http://www.bipm.org/en/scientific/mass/pictures_mass/prototype.html
Citizendium is a non-profit, free online encyclopedia. Volunteer editors, including university professors and other experts, review all articles before they receive final approval. Unpaid volunteer authors, like myself, must be vetted and approved before they can contribute any articles and all authors must use their real names. You may visit the Citizendium at http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Main_Page to learn more.
If you would grant us the permission to use the photo as a public educational service, we would be most grateful. We would prefer the photos be released under a Creative Commons (CC) license ( see http://creativecommons.org/license/ ), but will gladly accept the terms with which you are most comfortable.
Your photo will be viewable worldwide and will be conspicuously labeled "CC Photo: Bureau International des Poids et Mesures " (or any other name that you specify). If at any time in the future you request the photos' removal, such request will be honored.
Assuming that permission is granted, I will need to receive an email stating that permission is granted. We are not otherwise allowed to use photos.
Thanking you for your consideration, I am
Milton Beychok
