I have been creating profiles in WikiTree for years now but have been uncertain about the copyright of your material. Recently I have found a fabulous photo of a great great great Uncle of mine contributed by Christine Smith CDN. Would I be infringing copyright if I put a copy in John Jeffrey's profile?

It is usually best to ask the contributor for permission.
