Anthem for Doomed Youth by Wilfred Owen

What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons.
No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells;
Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, –
The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;
And bugles calling for them from sad shires.
What candles may be held to speed them all?
Not in the hands of boys but in their eyes
Shall shine the holy glimmers of goodbyes.
The pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall;
Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds,
And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.

Was good to be able to be somewhere peaceful for a change...

Question...

Can anyone out there give me some help with something?

I was photographing a couple of bands on Wednesday night (see journal passim) and one of the bands has asked me if they can use the pictures. I am very happy to let them have 'licence' to use them, but I want to stipulate that I retain the rights to the pictures.

Is there a 'licence' I can issue them under that will cover me in this way?

Thanks for help in advance...
