File:Velocisaurus holotype left foot.png

Source says "from Bonaparte, 1991a", therefore of different copyright. FunkMonk (talk) 22:02, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

The description is copied from the image's caption in my source, which has a CC 3.0 license. I thought that when an image is republished in a CC journal it gains the CC license of that journal. Should I reference Bonaparte, 1991 due to the attribution clause of CC 3.0? Fanboyphilosopher (talk) 01:24, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

The CC-by license of the journal applies to the material they publish, given they have the rights on it (otherwise it's what's called "license laundering"). What is in discussion here is if the authors of the 2004 paper had the rights to reproduce the image from the 1991 paper. --Ruthven (msg) 08:07, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

The authors of the paper are reputable paleontologists with similar areas of study to Bonaparte. I can't really verify whether permission was given, but the copyright notices on the "about" only require that a paper's authors attribute the original artists if images are republished. Given that the journal is published out of the Argentine Museum of Natural Sciences, and that Bonaparte leads the museum's entire vertebrate paleontology department([1]), I can't imagine that he didn't give some sort of permission during the whole peer review and publishing process.
