Request for Credit Information for Use of Stellarium Image in NHK Program

[Eri]

Dear Stellarium Team,

I am contacting you on behalf of NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation), Japan’s national public broadcaster operating on a non-commercial, non-profit basis.

We are currently producing a special TV program. As part of this program, we are creating a short drama that depicts the night of August 5, 1945, the day before the atomic bombing in Hiroshima. To faithfully represent the starry sky as it would have appeared that night, we would like to use a still image generated by Stellarium.（We will not use any sky culture data or constellation lines.）

We would greatly appreciate it if you could let us know the proper credit or attribution required for using Stellarium in our program.

Thank you very much for your wonderful work and for your kind assistance.

Best regards,
Erika Arai
Director / NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation)

Hi!

Stellarium is distributing under GPLv2+ license and according to

> We will not use any sky culture data or constellation lines

you don’t need extra licenses here. So, attribution to Stellarium will be enough here.

With best regards, Alexander Wolf.

Dear Mr.Alexander Wolf

Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

We will include credit for Stellarium.

Would it be appropriate to list it as “Stellarium 25.2”?

Thank you in advance for checking.

 Best regards,

Erika Arai
