I just called the Democratic National Committee to ask
if they would be willing to licence some of their
images under the GFDL (I was hoping to get a photo for
[[Terry McAuliffe]]). Anyway, the person I spoke to
said that "We probably won't have any problems
licencing them to you", but wanted it in writing. So,
I have a question regarding image copyright.
Does an email constitute permission to use these? And
should I store it? That is, what format is necessary
for the permission?
The even better news is this: when I called, I
launched into my little shpiel about how "I'm calling
on behalf of the Wikipedia, we're trying to put
together a free-content encyclopedia". He stopped me
in the middle of my sentence and said "Of course I've
heard of the Wikipedia." It kind of made my day.

Fabulous!
But licensing them to us, is not the same as licensing under the GFDL...
