Files in Category:Digitized Sky Survey

[edit]
See also Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Digitized Sky Survey 2

Images uploaded from the Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) have typically been incorrectly rationalized because up to three copyright elements are at play. Many come from the Aladin platform, the code for which is licensed GPL v3 and occasionally gets applied to the end image. Also, because the DSS is a digitization of photographic plates, the work performed by the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) under contract to NASA is interpreted as a release of these underlying works as PD-NASA. However, the original works are, as mentioned, photographic plates all produced under copyright by different creators, including the Anglo-Australian Observatory and the Palomar Observatory. Copyright statements are clearly published by different archives here (STScI), here (STScI), and here (ESO), and apply to all end products regardless of intermediate steps performed by STScI, NASA, ESO, or any other organization. Note also that a number of images here were incorrectly identified as belonging to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and templated CC-by-4.0 under that assumption, but then later properly categorized as DSS.

You are probably right in the first part, DSS images in genaral and Aladin-images.

On the second part, we had already the discussion: Commons:Deletion requests/File:M101 hires STScI-PRC2006-10a.jpg so please exclude the following images:
