File:RCAF (DHC-5A) CC-115 Buffalo 454 (34407).jpg

Seems to be a copyright violation. It seems that the copyright holder of this image is still "de Havilland Aircraft of Canada" High Contrast (talk) 14:30, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

. I scanned the photos that I received during my visit to de Havilland Canada plant in 1975. If "PD-author|..." is not right, could you suggest one appropriate for the case if any? Thank. Chesipiero (talk) 15:44, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. Why are these images in the public domain? You cannot release these images in the public domain without a valid permission of de Havilland Canada. --High Contrast (talk) 17:47, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

As the pictures were released to be published by magazines, I think they are in the public dominion even if there is any permission.Chesipiero (talk) 15:08, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Just because these images appeared in some magazine does not mean that they are in "public domain" - that's something different. Please read COM:L and Commons:Public domain. Thank you! Regards, High Contrast (talk) 20:38, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
