[edit] NOTE ON THIS TEMPLATE
Not all DOE operating units have the same copyright policy; some claim no copyrights while others reserve the right to as part of their contracts with DOE. Please check on the website of the specific agency (i.e., the national laboratory in question), or e-mail someone there, before placing this tag.
- Labs known to claim their own copyrights or otherwise require non-free licensing:
- Sandia National Laboratories [1]
- Brookhaven National Laboratory[2]
-
- IMAGES IN THE ABOVE CATEGORY CANNOT USE A PD TAG
- Labs which require attribution or a statement of their copyright policy (but are otherwise mostly free):
- Los Alamos National Laboratory[3]
- Note that scientific and technical information is © 1993-2005 University of California! Lupo 08:04, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

- YOU NEED TO USE {{PD-LosAlamos}} TO INCLUDE REQUIRED ATTRIBUTION.

- YOU CAN USE (THIS) PD TAG.
- Labs which require attribution and prohibit non-educational usage::
- Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory [5] (allows "non-commercial, educational, or scientific use," but other work potentially copyrighted)
- Oak Ridge National Laboratory [6]
- ...which says "These documents may be freely distributed and used for non-commercial, scientific and educational purposes." For commercial uses, one would have to get the permission of either ORNL or the DOE. Therefore, this is not PD but a "non-commercial only" license. Lupo 08:01, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
- Pacific Northwest National Laboratory[7]. Same as Oak Ridge.
- Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory[8]
- Spallation Neutron Source — Uses the same copyright policy page as Oak Ridge.
-
- IMAGES IN THE ABOVE CATEGORY CANNOT USE A PD TAG
- Labs with ambiguous copyright policies:
- Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory[9] (seems to imply that they consider their work potentially copyrighted)
- Fermilab [10] (says nothing about use by others)
- Ames Laboratory[11]
- Idaho National Laboratory, no policy found, but has a "Copyright © 2006 Idaho National Laboratory" at the bottom of every page.
- National Renewable Energy Laboratory[12]
- Stanford Linear Accelerator Center[13]
- Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility[14], waffles on whether or not commercial use is allowed.
- Albany Research Center/National Energy Technology Laboratory: says that most of the information of their web site were in the public domain, but that some parts might by copyrighted by third parties.[15]
-
- PROBABLY CAN USE A PD TAG UNLESS THERE ARE OTHER INDICATIONS
- Labs known for sure to claim no copyrights:
- None known.
-
- CAN USE (THIS) PD TAG
- Labs with no (known) copyright notice:
- New Brunswick Laboratory
- Radiological and Environmental Sciences Laboratory — Not much of a loss, their site is totally empty! Note however they are being hosted by the Idaho Nacional Lab, see above.
-
- CANNOT USE A PD TAG, USE INSTEAD A "FAIR USE IN" tag
For images which cannot use a PD tag or are otherwise questionable, consider whether or not they would fall under the "Wikipedia:Fair use" provision of U.S. copyright law.
- On the whole issue of DOE sponsored labs who operate as contractors to the U.S. government, I refer you to the CENDI's copyright FAQ, section 4.0. Lupo 08:01, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for a full list of tags available. The following are applicable within the United States.
