Dear Mr. Lamport

I'm an administrator at Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org). Wikipedia is a volunteer, non-profit project to build an encyclopedia to which anyone can contribute. It is licensed under the GFDL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GFDL), which is "share-and-share alike" - it lets anyone freely copy our information with very few strings attached.

On your website, you have a picture of yourself (http://lamport.org/leslie.gif). I'd appreciate it if you could release it under the terms of the GFDL, so that I could add to Wikipedia's article on you (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Lamport).

Sincerely Yours,

Mark ********** Wikipedia Administrator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Raul654

Dear Mr. **********,

You're welcome to do whatever you wish with the photo on my web site, or with any more recent photo that I may later replace it with.

Sincerely,
