  As a practical matter, most image sources have no issue with image use as long as it’s properly accredited with a direct link and a name and not used for commercial gain. If you’re taking from Wikipedia, I believe they have a Creative Commons license that spells this out; search around their site for terms of use and you should find it.

  Mostly everything is a violation of copyright. I should know! Just take it.

  Not that we’re offically telling you to do that of course. Best bet at the very least is to give copyright credit for the image.
