Yi Sun-shin died in 1598 so his work is in public domain. Therefore, PD-art is the correct license. And the date of creation is written right on the work; which does change the copyright status as Yi Sun-shin created it; whose name is also written on the work.

It would be, if it was really his work. Can we get some independent confirmation that it's not just a depiction/writing of a phrase he once said, drawn by a modern artist? The "Copyright 1999-2006" on the website itself seems to imply this? —LactoseTIT 05:42, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
The website has that copyright at the bottom of every page. I don't know that much about Calligraphy - but if the image on the source is claimed to be the Calligraphy of someone who died 400 years ago, I think you have to take it at face value unless there is evidence that it might be someone elses work.

Does it say that? My Korean is not so great :D I had thought this was a famous saying that was spoken aloud. The painting, I thought, was just a modern depiction in calligraphy, but not written by the original speaker. Could someone confirm which it is? —LactoseTIT 16:42, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
  • keep The original website says that the calligraphy is actually his handwriting. And it is true; Recently in Hansando, where Battle of Hansan Island was carried out, his statue was built with the calligraphy on the pedestal. See [1]. (There are many unrelated images. When you scroll down about one third, there is a photo of his statue being built.) Ginnre 04:26, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
