Hi All,

Paid some attention to the discussion about copyrights especially in terms of
"copying" an artifact -- the example was for a period dress I think.  Okay,
here's one....

Person contacts a museum and would like to do needlepoint patterns based on
some embroidery that we have in our collection.  We sell them photos of the
items in question and they do the necessary work to turn them into patterns on
a grid and sell the patterns.

What would we charge?  We charge for the photos, and we charge for the
reproduction of said photos...but they're not going to be reproducing the
actual photos in their book or patterns I don't think.
