OpenGuides needs be to changed somehow to remove the (c) in this instance. That CC "licence" seems to only muddy the waters, as it's not actually a licence at all. I would avoid us linking to that. One could use a certain marker in the node_image_url system - if "publicdomain" is contained in the URL, replace the copyright text with "image in the public domain" or similar. Without adding another metadata field (eg image_is_public_domain) I can't see a better way to do it.

It could be a checkbox rather than a text input, maybe. To answer Bob: I know I don't _have_ to credit the photographer for a public domain image, but I _want_ to. (We're probably going to avoid the issue for now, though, by me making some trivial modification to the photos and releasing them as Creative Commons - a solution suggested by the photographer himself.)
