Follow up to my previous question "Is this wrong?"	Matthew	Friday, April 4, 2008
Question: What about if i didn't charge for the work on the side and had done it as simply volunteer work? Does that affect it? Is it still stealing?
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM Dear Matthew: Yes. If I steal a loaf of bread from the grovery store to give it to a homeless person at no charge, it is still stealing and I can still be arrested for it. If you use those images in any way that violates the license, then you are doing wrong. There is a way to find out for sure -- check with your paper's lawyers. They will be able to tell you definitively what is and is not a violation of the license. God Bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary Footer Notes: This forum is for general questions on the faith.
