No evidence this image has actually been released on the Open Government Licence. One source contains a tiny cropped thumbnail not the image here, and the other source page makes no mention of the OGL, and similar source pages such as this and this release images saying they are not for commercial use. While it can't be assumed that these images can't be used commercially, it equally can't be assumed they have been released on the Open Government Licence since the source page makes no mention of that. The OGL doesn't automatically apply, but only to "information where the relevant rights owner, or Information Provider which has authority to license the Information for use, make it expressly available for use under the terms of the OGL". Therefore the copyright status is completely unclear, and the image should be deleted. One Night In Hackney (talk) 13:19, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
- Image has been taken from the National Archives, which clearly states that they have been released under the Open Government Licence. The editor One Night in Hackney, seems to be nit-picking his words as it states in bold here One source that it has been released under the OGL and therefore should stay.

- As already mentioned, that source doesn't contain the image you uploaded. One Night In Hackney (talk) 19:00, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
- As it has been argued by myself and countless other editors, the images in hi res was taken by the Department in question and was released under the Open Government Licence and under crown copyright therefore the image is fine. However you could email the department in question to get further confirmation if you want, this site will help you do that:[1]. Slytherining Around32 (talk) 19:29, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
Keep The relevant rights owner here is the Crown (as opposed to a local government body), whose rights as the cited page mentions are managed by HMSO. It says "The Controller offers information which is subject to Crown copyright and Crown database right, or to copyright or database right which has been assigned to or acquired by the Crown (Crown information), for use under the terms of the Open Government Licence" and according to User:Jdforrester, who works at TNA, this means all crown/crown-owned copyright content that doesn't fall under exemptions is under the OGL (this has been added as a note to {{OGL}}). As for the FOI request not mentioning the license, it was made two years ago, probably before the Controller of HMSO's Offer. —innotata 16:02, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
- HMSO say the OGL applies to "information where the relevant rights owner, or Information Provider which has authority to license the Information for use, make it expressly available for use under the terms of the OGL". So unless you have evidence this image has been expressly made available under the OGL, it isn't OGL according to HMSO. You can't have it both ways.

- Keep Crown Copyright has released it under the OGL. Slytherining Around32 (talk) 10:37, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
