As a legal matter, no. The copyright to them is owned by whoever took 
them. They are the only ones who can authorize use thereof. (Which 
people don't think about when putting pictures of themselves online.) 
If the photo is of a human, you also need a model release, which 
would have to be from Robert's heirs.

I don't think anyone would object to use on a personal site for a 
tribute, but Amara needs to adhere to the niceties for Kurzweil AI.

We should see about continuing to host his site as is indefinitely, 
as we did for Sasha. I'd be happy to take it on, if needed.
