Files in Category:Seimas Palace

These images feature prominently the Seimas Palace, which was designed by both w:en:Algimantas Nasvytis (died 2018) and w:lt:Vytautas Nasvytis (died 2016). Unfortunately, Lithuania has only non-commercial freedom of panora, which is against free culture licensing as stated in COM:Licensing. The building is not eligible for exception at COM:Lithuania#Not protected as it is not a flag, a government document, or an insignia (seal/coat of arms etc.), but a physical architectural work worthy of architects' copyright protection.

The most used images can be transferred to local wikis that allow hosting of unfree architectural works in their full resolutions, like English Wikipedia and German Wikipedia. Unsure about Lithuanian Wikipedia though.

  @Pigsonthewing: nothing indicated at COM:TOO Lithuania. Since Lithuania is a former Soviet state, and it is presumed that USSR heavily influenced their copyright law (esp. non-commercial FOP), we may assume that they may follow COM:TOO Russia, which sets a very low bar of threshold of originality for "creative works." Or if following the TOO of Lithuania's historical nation, Poland, then is of no use too as COM:TOO Poland claims that Polish TOO bar is rather low.

Deleted: per nomination, looks original enough to me. The files can be restored in 2089. --Rosenzweig τ 07:52, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
