There are a few piccis I've found that use it that I'd like to add, but would like to be sure first, Jguk 3 July 2005 18:17 (UTC)
- No. Have a look at Commons:Licensing: commercial use and derivative work must both be allowed, by-nd-nc prohibits that. -- Duesentrieb 3 July 2005 18:41 (UTC)
That's a shame. I'll try to write to those putting the piccis on the web (as it's a messageboard I was looking at, I hope there's a fair chance that they'd play ball), Jguk 3 July 2005 20:24 (UTC)
[edit] Free Art License
The paragraph about the Free Art License (FAL) is misleading. The Free Art License is definitely a free copyleft license (even according to the FSF - see “Licenses for other types of works“ at the end of [1]). Therefore it is completely wrong to say that “not all Free Art Licenses allow commercial use”.
Also, the other licenses listed under the heading “Copyleft Attitude Licenses” were not published by the Copyleft Attitude, so I suggest moving them under the “Other free tags” heading.
[edit] Anonymous, unpublished from Soviet Union
When does the copyright protection expire in case of unpublished, anonymous works originating from Soviet Union? --Botev (talk) 15:40, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Problem: Many missing entries.
I think all or most of these exist but are not listed.
* Template:PD-USGov-AVO * Template:PD-USGov-Award * Template:PD-USGov-BBG * Template:PD-USGov-Congress * Template:PD-USGov-Congress-AOC *Template:PD-USGov-FWS/layoutlayout only * Template:PD-USGov-GAO * Template:PD-USGov-HHS-NIH * Template:PD-USGov-HUD * Template:PD-USGov-Military-Air National Guard * Template:PD-USGov-Military-DVIC * Template:PD-USGov-money * Template:PD-USGov-NASA-AP *Template:PD-USGov-NASA-SRTMalready listed * Template:PD-NWS * Template:PD-USGov-NPS-HALS * Template:PD-BG-Gov *Template:PD-WorldWindalready listed * Template:PD-USGov-PHS * Template:PD-USGov-POTUS *Template:PD-USGov-TVAalready listed * Template:PD-USGov-USTR
I think this is a problem because http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=fromgov says that the complete list of applicable templates is on this page. We should add 'em, yes? --Elvey (talk) 05:13, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
- Template:PD-USGov-FWS/layout is not a complete license tag. Sv1xv (talk) 05:37, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
- True - but the other templates should be added to the list. People sometime create templates and forget to list them here. However, some of those templates need to be reviewed. For example {{PD-BG-Gov}} - apart from obvious spelling mistakes it doesn't give clear information why the work is PD (that or another reason). And if the copyright has expired, the {{PD-old}} tag should be used, so what is left are only Bulgarian governmental works and that needs a citation. --Botev (talk) 10:24, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
- DONE. Thanks for the input. I'm making changes. Looks like PD-CAGov will be needed soon too. I've added the dozen that passed muster. (Not that they're perfect, but I skipped, e.g. BG-Gov.--Elvey (talk) 19:34, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
