Batch 1 - Deletion request is because of uncertainty as to OGL(Canda) applicability given NC clause in the text of the documents concerned. I do not want to delete en-masse but precautionary princple applies unless someone can show these are covered by OGL (Canada)

It would well be that Canada did intend OGL-C to apply to past use of standard Crown statements on documents like these that were encouraged to be reused, but we would need a clear official statement of retrospectivity. -- (talk) 12:03, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Obvious delete. There is zero evidence that those works were released under the license placed by the uploader or under any other free license. The files are copied from Internet Archive, which does not offer any evidence of release either. Also, the files were miscategorized, and some are mistitled, as publications of the Government of Canada, which they are obviously not. (Even if they were, they wouldn't be free either without evidence of a release). They are publications of the Government of Ontario. -- Asclepias (talk) 01:55, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
