Hi Gary,

All of the images created by us are licensed CC BY SA with "CK-12 Foundation
(www.ck12.org)" as the attribution clause.

We also have a number of images from wikipedia, etc. We are trying to do a
better job at displaying attribution info on these. One way to see the
attribution information for images is to open the PDF file and look in the
Image Sources section at the end of each chapter. It will give URLs,
attribution, etc. info for many of the images.

In our mathematics books, the vast majority of images were created by CK-12
Foundation.

In our science books, about 1/2 were created by us and about 1/2 were taken
from wikimedia commons or other sources where they were licensed CC BY SA,
GNU GFDL, or some similar license.

Let me know if that answers your question or if you have any others.

Thanks,

-Josh
