Yes. Because Donny cited the source, he can post his project on the school website.

Answer 1

No. Even information correctly used for school projects may not be posted on a website without permission.

While Donny created his project for educational purposes and cited the source, using multimedia content (such as graphics) from another website typically requires permission from the copyright holder, especially if it is to be publicly posted on the school website. Fair use is a nuanced doctrine that considers factors like the purpose of use, the nature of the work, the amount used, and the effect on the market for the original work. In this case, posting the project online could potentially affect the market for the original graphics, which means permission is likely required.
