The image may be CC-BY-SA-3.0, but the amount of image taken up by the trophy can not be called de minimis and would therefore need its own permission Ronhjones ^(Talk) 00:20, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was: keep. Assuming the information that it is a studio work is correct, then as a work-for-hire, the photo was published when it was given (or sold) by the photographer to the family, and the work is now PD. —Darkwind (talk) 17:33, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The uploader states that the photo is previously unpublished. Therefore it is an unpublished work by an unknown author, and the copyright does not expire until 120 years from the date of creation according to the Hirtle chart. Since the image was created in 1910, the copyright expires in 2030. Dianna (talk) 01:31, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The description states that it is a studio photo, i.e. a work for hire. The photographer obviously took this photo as part of his work for a photography company, so the copyright expires 120 years after the photo was taken. The copyright expires in 2031 (not 2030) per s:Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works/Articles 1 to 21#Article 7 (5). --Stefan2 (talk) 13:33, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This remark has been copied from my user talk: The photo referenced was found in an archive and scanned. It is also on the Mn Historical Society's site where it is listed as belonging to Murray County Historical Society. The link is included on the Wikipedia page where it is used. It was taken in 1910, and I'm pretty sure it is safely in the public domain. -- Ray Lowry Ray Lowry 16:21, 29 January 2013 (UTC) -- Dianna (talk) 19:36, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This may be a dumb question, but what was the definition of "published" in 1910? If this was a studio photograph, when was it not "published" the moment the studio gave it to their client, meaning the copyright expired long ago? The moment it was offered for sale to their client, I believe that was considered "published". --B (talk) 15:16, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The files has been templated as PD-US Army, but the Flickr license shows an Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.0 Generic license, which is not a compatible license with hosting the file on this wiki. Dianna (talk) 02:01, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

All images by the United States government are in the public domain. The uploader is "U.S. Department of Defense Current Photos." They likely marked the license wrong on flickr, unless suddenly US Gov photos aren't in the public domain anymore. Cheers, — dain- talk 02:57, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, I too oppose the deletion on the grounds above. Perhaps the uploading individual didn't place the right copyright tag on the image, or is unaware of copyright policy of Department of Defense generated images.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 10:38, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

KeepAs far as I know, images by US Government are PD, regardless of what the Flickr license says. --GrapedApe (talk) 13:05, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Both the description on Flickr and the EXIF make it clear that this was made by the US government. According to 17 U.S.C. 105, "Copyright protection under this title is not available for any work of the United States Government." When uploading free images from Flickr, please make sure that you upload the original image. In this case, you uploaded a thumbnail (1,024 × 683 pixels) and not the full-size image (5,616 × 3,744 pixels). --Stefan2 (talk) 13:24, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Insufficient sourcing information to determine copyright status. Uploader claims that it's a "White House Photo," but provides no source link.. In fact, the uploader actually uploaded the image from a file on his computer. Could just as easily be a press photo, instead of WH photo. I was unable to locate the image in any of the JFK library websites. GrapedApe (talk) 12:40, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Created before 1923, but apparently unpublished and taken from a photo album recently. Unpublished photographs are not public domain. Note that other files on the same article, also uploaded by the same editor, have the same problem, but have already been transferred to Commons so the copyright violation is now there instead of here (see e.g. [1]). Wikipedia:Public domain#Unpublished works is the relevant policy. Fram (talk) 12:45, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- (edit conflict) See the distinction between "general publication" and "limited publication" here. Only "general publication" is relevant for {{PD-1923}} and {{PD-US-no notice}}. What you are describing might be "limited publication", if you mean that copies of the photo only were offered to the photographer and to the people on the photo. --Stefan2 (talk) 13:16, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yep, unpublished here means "limited publication", not that it was a negative-only until now. Isn't that what is usually meant when people say that a photograph is "unpublished"? That it hasn't been made available to a wider audience by some form of mass reproduction (newspaper, book, serigraphy, whatever)? Fram (talk) 13:29, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - see Publication Under 1976 Act, the distinction you make here is no longer relevant since then, and this example can accurately be described as "unpublished". Fram (talk) 13:32, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - I was referring to this but failed to notice that the comment was removed during the edit conflict. Without any information to the contrary, I think that this photo shall be treated as protected for 120 years since creation. Since it is less than 120 years old, the photo shall be assumed to be protected by copyright. --Stefan2 (talk) 13:36, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - Ah, I see. Fair enough! Fram (talk) 15:30, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the license to "fair use" now that the distinction has been explained, thank you. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 17:56, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Same as File:Cristmas eve, Isle of Pines, 1910 copy.jpg above; picture is pre-1923, but seems to be unpublished until now, so falls under the "unpublished works" copyright which only starts at publication basically. Fram (talk) 14:37, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- This way of taking pictures of open Qurans (or more generally medieval manuscripts) is common on wikipedia and commons. In the article on Quran, there is this image of an open Quran from the British Museum File:IslamicGalleryBritishMuseum3.jpg. It has been in that high profile article for 2 1/2 years and after its transfer to commons is used in multiple articles on the Quran. Mathsci (talk) 15:14, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    - There are 2 possibilities. I will contact the photographer Rafik on flickr to request a slight change in the CC license to attribution-sharealike (that will take a little while). If that fails, the book on the Keir Collection contains a flat 2-D image of the same pages which can be scanned and uploaded.

Delete. There's not enough information as to authorship to determine whether this image is out of copyright in the United States, and since there's a free image already in the article we can't reasonably convert to fair use. Also, uploader retired about 2 days after B's question. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 18:19, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

a) Digital Research's GEM and ViewMAX (a derivative of GEM) were released under the open-source license GPL by Caldera UK Ltd. in 1997, therefore any derivative works (including screenshots) are clearly under the GPL as well. The sources can still be downloaded here: http://www.deltasoft.com/downloads-gemworld.htm
- Actually, while GEM and ViewMAX sources were already released by Caldera UK Ltd in 1997, the files downloabable under the above mentioned link are from a more complete later distribution in 1999 by Caldera Thin Clients, Inc.. Caldera obtained the rights on the remaining Digital Research assets, including GEM and ViewMAX, from Novell on 1996-07-23. Here's the header contained in the various source files (including the historical Digital Research copyright left in for historical correctness):

b) Screenshots even of copyrighted software are not normally copyrighted, unless they display artwork which would be copyrighted.

--Matthiaspaul (talk) 22:29, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, as to subpoint b, I think what you're driving at is whether this passes a threshold of creativity. That's debatable. Separate and related question: you said that this screenshot is actually of a version of the product released under a proprietary license. Is it sufficiently different from the GPL version that a screenshot of the latter is a different creative work than a screenshot of the former? In other words, does this particular screen look substantially the same as what it looked like in the free version such that if we could find and install a copy of the GPL software, you wouldn't be able to tell a difference? --B (talk) 15:34, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, B.

b) Yes, a screenshot showing a sketch, logo, photo, or (copyrightable) text might be copyrighted as well (depending on threshold), but a screenshot just showing some system messages or filenames certainly is not.

c) No, ViewMax once was commercial software, but that's long ago. Caldera, who obtained the rights to the software in 1996, released the sources of some of the older and no longer maintained Digital Research products under the GPL (LICENSE.TXT). ViewMax/2 and ViewMax/3 were among them. The file clearly shows a screenshot of ViewMax/3 with possibly a user-modified color-profile - at least I cannot remember any of the default color-profiles this ugly in the real product, but perhaps this was a high-contrast profile for visually impaired people or to be used with some early LCD monitors, I don't know. Other than the strange color profile there's no difference. Therefore this is clearly covered by the GPL. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 20:34, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete, though more under a FfD-type argument that it's unencyclopedic because of the screwed up color palette, with the copyright concerns being persuasive. If ViewMax/3 can be screenshotted under the GPL, then let's do so and be done with it. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 18:32, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep. This screenshot either does not contain copyright-eligible parts or visuals of copyrighted software, or the author has released it under a free license, and as such follows the licensing guidelines for screenshots of Wikimedia Commons.

Delete because of quality issues more than copyright concerns, though these should still be persuasive. The creativity of the phrasing is arguable, as may be the translations, to the point that I would argue something along the lines of COM:PRP. I'm not convinced by Commons' template; I don't see any evidence on in the template or license text that the entirety of Mac OS and all media therein would be covered by that license, rather than whatever proprietary license Mac OS is normally distributed under. As to the sufficiency of the APSL license, I just don't know. It seems more easily terminable by original copyright owner than either CC-BY-SA or GFDL. I don't know if that's fatal, but it's concerning. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 18:46, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
