Ginny,

That's basically the same in KY.  Technically,
requesters are not "required" to provide information
other than the request, but agencies can require them
to sign for the record.  It's really kind of weird. 
The agency still can't ask for the purpose, but
requesters are required to disclose a commercial use.

Just thought that might provide a way out of the
unusual request for Chuck by giving him a backing for
the extra charge, and possibly damping any kind of
commercial use of the photos.  Although it doesn't
address his question of informing others.
