[edit] Summary

Coat of Arms of Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council. Protected by Crown Copyright, and used with permission. Terms of copyright on the site preclude the Seal from being considered a "free licence" Crown Copyright image. As such, a fair use rationale has been added to retain it on the English-language Wikipedia.

[edit] Licensing

Copyrighted
 

This work is protected by British Crown copyright. Limitations on its distribution are defined at the original site of publication, and are not altered by its reproduction here. Those terms may include, but may not be limited to, its reproduction being accurate, free of charge in any format or medium, and not used in a misleading context. The source of the material must be identified and the copyright status acknowledged. HMSO has explicitly stated in official correspondence that material under Crown Copyright may not be relicensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.

Thus, this is a non-free license for the purpose of Wikipedia, as modification is not permitted. However, it is believed that the use of this work:

  • To illustrate the object in question
  • Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information
  • On the English-language Wikipedia ([1]), hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation ([2]),

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use and Wikipedia:Copyrights.

To the uploader: Please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.


Copyrighted

This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket fair use categories listed at Wikipedia:Fair use#Images or Wikipedia:Fair use#Audio_clips. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "Metropolitan Borough of Oldham":

  • To illustrate the object in question
  • Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information
  • On the English-language Wikipedia ([3]), hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation ([4]),

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use and Wikipedia:Copyrights.

To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed fair use rationale.

[edit] Rationale

  1. As an official symbol of the Borough, the crest adds significantly to the article on the subject.
  2. No free or public domain images have been located describing the subject of the article.
  3. Due to the nature of the image, it is highly unlikely that any "free licence" alternatives will be found.
