Public domain tag

[編輯]

The Crown Copyright public domain tag on the page had incorrectly claimed that this is a work produced by the UK government, despite the description and the source saying that the photograph was taken by an employee of the German Air Force. Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory/United_Kingdom#General states that "[t]he author must be a natural person and cannot be a corporation". The work was created on 7 September 1940 but the identity of the author cannot be determined from the sources. Section 21 of the Copyright Act then in force in the UK suggests that the copyright term is 50 years after creation. I have added two copyright tags to the article that are the ones most likely to be appropriate. --Joshua Issac (對話) 17:40, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[回覆]
