3. a description within the HTML code that is not necessarily rendered by all possible browsers, for instance a <link> tag (in the head, e.g., <link rev="appendix" href="http://thau-knudsen.dk" title="Source material" />), the title="" property, the <comment> tag, the SGML comments, e.g., <!-- Quoted from www.thau-knudsen.dk -->;

Images

For the privacy of persons I love, a specific permission is required for using photos and other images portraiting people that are not me, Erik Thau-Knudsen.

If you are in doubt about who is who, please contact me. Hitherto, nobody has been turned down.

All photos with me and made by me or my girl-friend Lone Moltsen may be used unlimitedly for any non-commercial purpose. E.g., if you want to write an article about Danish Balkanists of the 20th century and add a photo from this site, you won't need to ask me in advance before going public. But if you want to put my photo in a tobacco ad with the text Eric also switched to ΚΑΡΕΛΙΑ Cigarettes, you must ask me first, and you might get a negative answer (mostly because I don't like ΚΑΡΕΛΙΑ).

Please make a reference to this site, if you copy an image. Ways to refer (in order of visibility):

• Text: Example: Photo: Erik Thau-Knudsen (especially in printed matters)
• Long description HTML image property: use the <img /> tag property longdesc. Example: <img src="/my_images/erik_thau-knudsen.jpg" alt="Portrait of Erik Thau-Knudsen" longdesc="http://www.thau-knudsen.dk/" />
• CSS comments: If you use my images for creating backgrounds in CSS, make a comment referring to this site, e.g.,
#contents {background-image: url('/images/opaque_white_50pct.png'); /* THIS IMAGE IS USED WITH PERMISSION FROM www.thau-knudsen.dk */ }
• Embedded meta-data: In cases when the images contain metadata (XMP data, IPTC information, or SGML comments in SVG files): Do not delete the embedded reference to the author, e.g., copyright notice.

Rights to images not produced by me pertain to their authors. E.g., in the case of a photo a friend has made of me and his spouse, the rights pertain to that friend. Ask me to get their contact info.

Bottom line: Use portraits of me or non-personal backgrounds if you like. Make a reference to the author. Ask for the rest.

Sounds

Sound files, e.g., music files, can be downloaded and distributed unlimitedly for any non-commercial purpose. Example: you can take my music and entertain your friends with it, even play it at your local discoteque. However, if you publish it with the purpose of earning money, you must consult me first.

Page design and layout

Feel free to copy my layout and design ideas, as long as you don't make money on it. The peanut limit is any production worth less than 10,000 Euros. When copying larger amounts of design, please make a proper reference to this site, i.e., in the notes of your style sheet.

As for backgrond images, confer also my section about images.
