Copyvio, No freedom of panorama in the U.S. Kevmin (talk) 12:51, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
- The Diorama was created by an American federal institution, so is free of copyright in and of itself. As a 3D Public Domain work, the only possibly copyright would be that of the photographer, and as I am the photographer and released this work under a free license - there is no existing copyright.

- There was a precedent to this, a photo of some artwork in the same museum I believe, if the museum hire's an artist to do artwork for them, he still owns the copyright to it. The author is not the museum, not the photographer, but the artist. FunkMonk (talk) 22:26, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
- The creator of the diorama still retains the copyrights unless they are specifically transferred to the institution. As there are a number of institutions across North America which have the same dioramas (style not exact copies) this would indicate a private company makes these.--Kevmin (talk) 22:50, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
- So far as I can ascertain, that isn't true. Do you have any evidence to support this? Otherwise, the assumption rests with the belief that a diorama which does not indicate any ownership other than the Museum was in fact created by the museum -- just like a reconstructed dinosaur skeleton ;) Per FunkMonk, since the image does not say which museum the diorama is housed in, I am curious as to how you are so certain that the "same museum" came up in "a precedent".

- The text on File:Life in the Ediacaran Sea.jpg Shows the same grouping of creatures from a slightly different angle. The Charnia and "jellyfish"? are in the same positions with the trilobites and seaweed. The caption with the file clearly states the diorama is in the Smithsonian.--Kevmin (talk) 03:46, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's why I assumed it was the same museum. The other file was a painting of an extinct horse, but I don't remember much else. The museums usually mount and take casts of skeletons themselves, but that's not the same as creating a model from scratch, I believe they hire outside artists for that.
