Edited version of Commons image, commons:Image:Pompeii the last day 1.jpg.

[edit] Licensing

This image is a cropped version of commons:Image:Pompeii the last day 1.jpg. That image was uploaded by no less a Wikipedian than User:Danny, who has this to say on the Commons page:

These pictures, as well as several film clips and other relevant information, were given to Wikipedia by Crew Creative, the company charged with advertising the show in New York. We have written confirmation of that, and I called personally to clarify as well. They understand fully that the material is released under the GNU-FDL and Creative Commons licensing arrangements. The materials they have given us can be found here.

A quote from my letter to them:

One thing I must say though is that all of our material on Wikipedia is in the public domain and released under various licenses, including GNU-FDL and/or Creative Commons. Will Crew Creative be prepared to release these photos and film clips into the public domain under these terms?

Their written response (confirmed by phone) was:

All materials are available for use on your site - the photos and clips are free for you to use!

I explained that the material may be copied, and was told that this was fine. Danny 14:14, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The above notice was uploaded by Sannse [1]. The commons page has a special copyright tag for this, commons:Template:CopyrightedFreeUsePompeii, which en.wiki lacks. There is no copyright tag on Wikipedia:Image copyright tags that is precisely applicable to this image, but the closest approximation is actually probably GFDL.
