[edit]Copyright violations and non-free images: these are all simple pictures of Bank of England notes of designs first issued in 1971 or later (see https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/withdrawn-banknotes for dates of introduction), meaning that they're unambiguously still in copyright. Some of them may be being used within the Bank's conditions, but those conditions are not generous enough to constitute a free licence.

[edit]Copyright violations. All of these are straightforward pictures of Northern Ireland or Scottish banknotes issued since 1950. These are issued by commercial banks and as far as I can see none of those banks has licensed them under a free licence.

[edit]These are Bank of England Emergency Wartime Issue notes as shown on https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/withdrawn-banknotes. According to that page, they were designed by "W M Keesey and others". Walter Monckton Keesey died in 1970, so these notes won't enter the public domain until 2041 at the earliest. The Wikipedia article on him mentions only that he designed the reverse of these notes, but its source for that is the Bank of England page linked above, and that page doesn't have any such restriction, so I think under COM:PRP we should assume that both sides of the notes are in copyright.

- As I understand copyright to the images of banknotes belongs to bank, not to creator. And bank made it free/public domain. Even if I`m wrong File:10 Sh 1940 E.jpg and File:Ł1 1940 E.jpg are obverse, not reverse of banknote, to whom Walter Monckton Keesey had no relation at all. --Ibidem (talk) 12:53, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- I agree that the copyright belongs to the bank. The date of death of the author is only relevant for working out the length of copyright. The problem is that the bank hasn't, as far as I know, granted a free licence for the use of these notes. The bank does grant a licence on https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/banknotes/using-images-of-banknotes, but it's not a free licence by Commons' standards because it requires marking with "SPECIMEN", and requires that reproductions not appear in an "inappropriate context". On the authorship point, what evidence do we have that Keesey only designed the backs of the notes? The Wikipedia article on him claims this, but it cites a Bank of England Web page that says "Design: W M Keesey and others", making no distinction between the sides. --bjh21 (talk) 16:01, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
