Hello Michal,

yes, I would have no problems with that. You may use the pictures under the Creative Commons Attribution Sharealike 2.5 licence (it seems to be preferable over the GFDL licence)

Are you writing articles in Polish or English? If you edit English Wikipedia articles I would like to see a couple of them, just out of curiousness.

best regards,
Ole Nielsen

Hi again,

Yes, no problems with that. Eventually, you could provide me with a list of the pictures (just the object names) you upload to Wikipedia Commons.

best regards,
Ole

Ok, that is a bit conflicting. Honestly, I haven't been looking into this copyright thing that thoroughly before. But I may have to look into it, maybe I will change the copyright statement on my web site removing the "non-commercial" part of it?

Just go on using my pictures on Commons.

best regards,
Ole
