Template talk:PD-old-50

"This image is in the public domain because its copyright has expired in the United States"? What? As far as I know, the US uses life+70. See Commons:Commons:Licensing. dbenbenn | talk 17:36, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I think this is bogus. See Cornell's chart of copyright expirations. I'm putting it on TFD. Superm401 | Talk 06:45, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

This tag means "this is both PD-US, and it is also PD in countries which require 50 years past death." It should be more clear but it is not nonsense; it is an attempt at internationalization.--Fastfission 20:25, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. I did not understand it to be an intersection of two different cases. Jkelly 21:00, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
