This deletion discussion is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive. You can read the deletion policy or ask a question at the Village pump. If the circumstances surrounding this file have changed in a notable manner, you may re-nominate this file or ask for it to be undeleted.


This is a similar case to Commons:Deletion requests/License tags of russian websites, in that the website states "This information may be used in part or fully with no obligation to acknowledge the source." It doesn't expressly allow commercial use, which is required for hosting on Commons. Perhaps a Spanish-speaking editor can get an express release from the Ministry, but until then files should be deleted under our precautionary principle.

  •  Comment I have sent a question to the General Division of the Intellectual Property of the Government of Spain. Can we delay this deletion request until we have an offcial answer?. Thank you.--Marctaltor (talk) 10:42, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Marctaltor, I don't think it will be a problem to delay the DR being closed whilst we wait to see if you get a response from the relevant govt dept. If you get any response, be sure send it to OTRS and advise us here of an update. russavia (talk) 16:31, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with Marctaltor, current licence is a bit ambiguous. Let's wait till we receive an official response. By the way, it would be a great idea asking them if they are willing to license CC-BY-SA to this site, to do the same with other sites that are managed by Ministeries and Agencies of the Spanish Government.--Dura-Ace (talk) 17:07, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • CC-BY-SA is much more restrictive than the permission they already gave. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 17:18, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • How can an irrevocable license be more restrictive then a permission that is not clearly free for commercial reuse and not revocable? I.e. it is not clear if we can still allow people to reuse from Commons if in future lamoncloa change their terms and not longer allow reusing, or if they remove content and stop offering that content under said conditions. --Martin H.

  •  Keep - La Moncloa permits free use of the images. Anyway, General Division of the Intellectual Property of the Government of Spain (Ministry of Culture) is not the best place to ask. I know well Spanish Governmet (actually, I do work for it). Better ask (if you consider it necessary---I think is clear enough) to the Secretary of Communication in the Ministry of the Presidency. /Cvbr (User talk:Cvbr) 10:50, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: No clear evidence of permission. Unless we have written/textual evidence explicitly permitting the use of these files under a Commons-compatiable license, we cannot host these files on Commons. -FASTILYs (TALK) 02:22, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
