[edit] Licensing

The two-dimensional work of art depicted in this image is in the public domain in the United States and in those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 100 years. Under American copyright law, originality of expression is necessary for copyright protection, and a mere photograph of an out-of-copyright work may not be protected under American copyright law.

[edit] Copyright discussion

• The proximate source for this image appears to be the webpage [1].

• However, the underlying design of the tartan is believed to date to ca 1679 [2].

It is not clear whether the image is a photograph of a woven sample, or is computer generated.

• If it is a woven sample, the weaving of the sample is entirely determined by the threadcount of the underlying design; it is therefore no more than a slavish reproduction, and will not attract copyright in its own right. The photograph does not attract copyright either, per Bridgeman vs Corel.

• If the image is computer-generated, this similarly is a slavish reproduction of the threadcount of the underlying design.

Either way, PD-art is an appropriate tag. Jheald
