Description
English: Signature of Idries Shah, a notable writer. Under United States Copyright Law, signatures are not eligible for copyright, as they are "titles, names...mere variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering, or coloring" (see here). This signature meets the proposed Commons guideline for UK signatures, which states that "if the signature is extremely simple (eg a scribbled line or two), it will not be copyright even in the UK."

Public domain
This signature is believed to be ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it falls below the required level of originality for copyright protection both in the United States and in the source country (if different). In this case, the source country (e.g. the country of nationality of the signatory) is believed to be England.
Note that this tag cannot be used on all signatures, as not all signatures are copyright-free.
See Commons:When to use the PD-signature tag for an explanation of when the tag may be used.
