File talk:State Seal of Arizona.svg

 

License

The claimed license on this image at present seems to me very unlikely to be correct. I doubt that the US Federal Center of Disease Control is the creator and license holder of the Arizona state seal; indeed the link giving the history specifically says otherwise. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (留言) 15:24, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

It came from a CDC PDF but the same drawing has shown up (in bitmap form) on US Embassy websites. So it was part of a series of seal drawings done by the U.S. government; I assume the CDC got them from other parts of the government. It's PD-USGov one way or another. The history of the seal, and its design in law, is irrelevant to the copyright of each drawing of that design, which are independent copyrights (see Commons:Coats of arms). We need to see the source of this drawing, and by all indications this particular vectorization came from the U.S. federal government, and is therefore PD-USGov. This is not true for any drawing of that design, but it would appear to be for this one. I think the CDC had 30 or so of the state seals in vector form that I uploaded at the time.
