[edit] Summary

Photo of St. Josemaria having a catechetical meeting or get-together with women who are involved in the apostolate of Opus Dei. Standing in the middle of the image, he is holding out his hands outwards, in a pose showing joy and happiness.

The copyright holder, Communications Office of Opus Dei in Rome, granted, in their response to Wikipedia User: Walter Ching, permission for the image to be used under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, with this email:

On 7/14/2005 at 1:23 PM Communications Office of Opus Dei in Rome: You may upload pictures of St. Josemaria Escriva which are in the CD-Rom which you can access through the Opus Dei Information Office there. The photos in the CD-Rom have a clear copyright holder: Communications Office of Opus Dei in Rome.

This is their response to my request letter patterned after the Wikipedia Letter of Request Form. I am in contact with the Communications Office of Opus Dei in my country which has the CD-Rom containing the photographs of St. Josemaria. My email letter of request contained the following paragraphs:

"Normally we ask permission for material to be used under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.
