"The Crown copyright protected material (other than the Royal Arms and

format or medium provided it is reproduced accurately and not used in
a misleading context."
That sounds about right...
"The exception to this rule is for material downloaded from our
DocumentsOnline service (see below)."
Fair enough...
"Where any of the Crown copyright items on this site are being
republished or copied to others, the source of the material must be
identified and the copyright status acknowledged."
Again, fair enough, and standard procedure for us anyway.
"Images on this site may not be reproduced without payment of a fee to
the image library."
That doesn't sound quite right to me; in fact, it contradicts the
earlier Crown Copyright statement.
It might be worth firing off an email or making other enquiries to
check, unless someone else here knows what's going on with these.
