Template talk:Non-free historic image

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Encouraging fair-use rationale

I have proposed a wording change to our non-free image templates, and I'm trying to keep the discussion centralized here. Please join in the discussion. (ESkog)^(Talk) 11:31, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Historic images with expired copyright

If the copyright on a historic image has expired, then we are free to use any digitized scans of that image, aren't we? Is this template only for historic images that are still covered by copyright? --Ishi Gustaedr (talk) 02:39, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes. A copy with no creative input does not create a new copyright. --Rat at WikiFur (talk) 17:47, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
