What kind of Caption is needed here?
I plan to use some Wikipedia images in a book which I plan to sell. And I need to be sure I am allowed to use these pictures.
Here are two sample images with different license requirements.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printing_press#/media/File:PrintMus_038.jpg
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printing_press#/media/File:Laurentius_de_Voltolina_001.jpg
How am I required to annotate them? Can I use these for commercial purposes?
Thanks
