File:Australian Aboriginal Flag.svg

Summary

This is an image of the Australian Aboriginal flag. The image was created by Trisreed for Wikipedia. The colour shades (Pantone 179 and 123) were sourced from a government website and converted to RGB using the official Pantone website. The flag itself was designed by Aboriginal artist Harold Thomas in 1971. The flag is protected in Australia, but does not pass the threshold of originality in the United States.

Licensing

This image shows a flag, a coat of arms, a seal or some other official insignia. The use of such symbols is restricted in many countries. These restrictions are independent of the copyright status. This tag does not indicate the copyright status or the source of the attached work. A normal copyright tag, a source (and a detailed non-free use rationale, if necessary) are still required. See Wikipedia:Copyrights and Wikipedia:Uploading images for more information.

This image is ineligible for copyright and therefore is in the public domain, because it consists entirely of typefaces, individual words, handwriting, slogans, or simple geometric shapes. These are not eligible for copyright alone in the United States because they are not original enough, and thus the logo is considered to be in the public domain. See WP:PD#Fonts or Wikipedia:Restricted materials for more information. Please note: The public domain status of this work is only in regards to its copyright status. There may be other intellectual property restrictions protecting this image, such as trademarks or design patents if it is a logo.

Do not copy this file to Wikimedia Commons. This image is believed to be non-free or possibly non-free in its home country, Australia. In order for Commons to host a file, it must be free in its home country and in the United States. Some countries, particularly other countries based on common law, have a lower threshold of originality than the United States.
