    Default Do I Need a Release Form to Use Names on a Poster

    I work for a small startup company and we would like to create an informational poster for use in schools featuring child athletes that are already famous (re: already have a wiki page/news articles/featured on 60 Minutes). We will not be using their images, only names. We will be selling this poster. Do we need to contact each child's parents and have a release signed for the use of their name and story?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Also, the poster is biographical. It is not promoting our company in any way, other than we will be selling it as a biographical poster, if that helps...
