Copyright violation, as infringement of CC-BY-SA of Helmut Kohl picture (all derivative pictures must be CC-BY SA too and include copyright holder/photographer name with a link to the CC-BY-SA legal code) Teofilo (talk) 03:40, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
Please consider using the derivative works upload tool for uploading derivative works without too many worries. Teofilo (talk) 03:46, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
- Why can't we just fix the license? I don't see a reason to delete the whole image just because the license tag is wrong. --PaterMcFly (talk) 06:07, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
- Agree with PaterMcFly, since the source of all the pictures is stated, a change of license should heal the issue. Since all pictures are from Wiki that should not be a big deal. The picture is used. --Neozoon (talk) 23:34, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
- Only the copyright holder of the derivative work can license his work. "We", as people not owning the copyright of this picture can't do anything (all "we" could do would be a forgery with no legal value)(Remember that licensing text begins by "I, the copyright holder,...") (Who is "I" ?) If the copyright holder agrees to do so, everything is fine. If he doesn't or ignores this request, the file must be deleted. Teofilo (talk) 22:43, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
- Well, not in this case. The uploader has put it under a public domain license. He shoudn't have done that, because some of the works he used are CC-BY-SA, which means any derivatives must be CC-BY-SA, too. Relicensing from PD to CC-BY-SA does not infrige on the author of the collections copyright, because CC-BY-SA is a "less free" license than PD. I may always use a picture that is PD under the requirements of CC-BY-SA (i.e naming the author) --PaterMcFly (talk) 13:34, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

What exactly should I do to resolve this issue? Should I recreate the collage removing the Helmut Kohl picture? Should I remove any others? Thanks. Vdjj1960 (talk) 18:20, 5 July (UTC)
Kept, changed license to {{Cc-by-sa-3.0}}, as the collage consists of cc-by-sa & public domain pictures. Kameraad Pjotr 20:13, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
