Consolidated Act on Copyright (Consolidated Act No. 1144 of October 23, 2014), permits uses of pictorial representations (like images) of works of art found in public places, but this no longer applies if the work is the main subject of the pictorial representation and this representation is used for commercial purposes. Therefore, images of such works are not considered as "free works" on Wikimedia Commons, which requires images to be used even for commercial purposes. Please do not upload images showing such works, unless these works are already in public domain, or 70 years have passed since the death of the artist or last-surviving artist. See also Commons:CRT/Denmark#Freedom of panorama for more information.
