File talk:Seal of the Marshall Islands.svg
The Marshall Islands embassy has claimed this as their official seal?[edit]
It seems that the embassy of the Republic of the Marshall Islands has claimed this user-created seal to be their official seal? Take a look. They even are going so far as to protect it with the threat of legal repercussions even though it's been released into public domain?
Protection of the Seal: A person who uses the seal or a representation of it, or anything that so resembles the seal as to be calculated to deceive or advertise or promote any commercial purposes, or for any purpose whatsoever without the permission of the Cabinet, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction, be subject to a fine of not less than $500 and no more than $2,500, a term of imprisonment of not less that 6 months nor more than one year or both. Each individual use of the seal shall be considered a separate offense.
I only noticed this because I was performing cleanup on the seal as requested on the Wikipedia [Graphics Lab], and I went to google to try to find the official seal for reference only to realize that this has become the official seal. What do we do from here? Obviously I'm not going to perform the requested clean-up, since it is impossible to more accurately represent the "official" seal than this.
