What is the policy, exactly, on posting others' work, even if you give them credit? Giving them credit isn't the same as getting their permission.

The CoC doesn't specifically cover this, but we generally allow it if you give credit and have permission.

hmm... okay, thanks. I was just wondering why some artists' galleries have NASA photos and famous artist images like Vermeer and etc.

Those examples are different because they are all in the public domain. You only have to give credit to the original source (this is a caedes-specific rule).

About old paintings...well it is kinda hard to get permission from someone that has been pushing up the daisies for the last couple hundred years, so giving credit to the artist is the respectful thing to do.

The work of art may have a moral effect, but to demand moral purpose from an artist is to make him ruin his work. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - 1832)

Well often they have an ancestor that has all the rights.
