Template:PD-RM

"Public domain" but the accepted uses are non-commercial / fair use Platonides 11:35, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Platonides. Please read Article 31 of the Law, which states that the uploaded files can be used in: "A copyright work shall be in free use for the purpose of acquiring informations of general significance, for teaching purposes, for private and other individual reproduction, quotation and other cases, according to this Law.". Please tell me what is wrong with the template, and if there is something you don't agree on, please help me improve the template. Revizionist 13:45, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

free use for the purpose of acquiring informations of general significance, for teaching purposes, for private and other individual reproduction, quotation and other cases, according to this Law." is not enough for commons. I must be able to sell that image, for example. Public domains usually means that anyone may use or exploit it as it fits. See en:Public domain, which is very different as what you quote. Whare did you take it was Public Domain? I don't see such expression in the document. Platonides 12:53, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The "license" is not free enough, works marked with this template are not in the public domain but can only be used under certain conditions (see articles 32ff). Commons does not necessary meet these requirements and requires to have a broader freedem for reuse (see Commons:Licensing#Acceptable_licenses). --Matt314 20:13, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is a fair-use template. Begone! Lupo 20:48, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete With a short reading of the law, it seems to be in line with the European Union copyright directive, at least as far as free uses are concerned. Unfortunately, we cannot keep this material here on the Commons or even in the Wikiprojects. If we moved the European-language Wikipedias to Europe and changed from "total freedom" to "free for education", we could add about anything to Wikipedia. Now we don't do that for some reasons which are probably rather good. (I think that it's good thing to require total PD, then we have much less interpretation than with different European formulations of "free for education" etc. However, If I could, I'd move the Commons to Europe and quit thinking about U.S law.) --MPorciusCato 10:27, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
