Permission: It is believed that the use of the image of postage stamps for the purpose of illustration is permitted under US copyright law governing fair use.

[edit] Licensing

This image is of a United States postage stamp produced in 1978 or later. The copyright for it is owned by the United States Postal Service. It is believed that the use of postage stamps

to illustrate the stamp in question (as opposed to things appearing in the stamp's design)
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Copyrights for more information.

Usage that does not fall under fair use requires a license from the USPS. This includes usage of the stamp's artwork to illustrate its subject, rather than the stamp itself.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale as described on Wikipedia:Image description page.
