| Other information |
This image was formerly considered to be public domain in Switzerland per Blau Guggenheim v. British Broadcasting Corporation, which asserted that the image is not creative enough. However, this image is now considered copyrighted in Switzerland per amendments to its copyright law that took effect in 2020 (albeit with allowance for existing uses published prior to 1 April 2020) This image is presumed to be copyrighted in the United States, as such a distinction for "simple" photographs does not exist in U.S. copyright law (which applies to Wikipedia or its affiliates), it is unclear whether it is below the U.S. threshold of originality, and this case law only applies to Switzerland. This image was previously hosted on Wikimedia Commons under the presumption that its lack of copyright applied worldwide. |

 | This image is a faithful digitisation of a unique historic image, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the person who created the image or the agency employing the person. It is believed that the use of this image may qualify as non-free use under the Copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. Please remember that the non-free content criteria require that non-free images on Wikipedia must not "[be] used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media." Use of historic images from press agencies must only be of a transformative nature, when the image itself is the subject of commentary rather than the event it depicts (which is the original market role, and is not allowed per policy). |
| If this tag does not accurately describe this image, please replace it with an appropriate one. | |
 | This file is NOT necessarily in the public domain in the United States because a non-simple image can only be in the public domain in the U.S.:
Information about the creation date and creator should be provided. If the image is not in the public domain in the United States, in addition to the license tag for its status in its source country an appropriate fair use license and rationale should be provided, or the image should be proposed for deletion. If the media is in the public domain in both its source country and the United States, it may be transferred to the Wikimedia Commons.
