@appassionato 10/10. What's your policy regarding others using your photos, giving proper attribution? Asking for a friend who would like to use it as their header image in Mastodon, maybe adding "Use Linux" to it.
It's me. I am the friend.
Totally fine if you don't allow it BTW, I'm asking to make sure your wishes regarding your IP are respected.
