[edit]

Probably unfree because [1] says "No known restrictions on publication," but that must be interpreted within the context of [2] which says "The Prints & Photographs Division attempts to provide known information about the rights to images ... and rights to many images ... have not been individually evaluated." It is very unlikely that the U.S. News & World Report Magazine Photograph Collection would relinquish rights. BenB4 04:14, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep. See U.S. News & World Report Magazine Collection Rights and Restrictions Information: "Per the deed of gift, the U.S. News & World Report, Inc., dedicated to the public all rights it held for the photographs in this collection upon its donation to the Library. The majority of the photographs in this collection were done for hire by U.S. News & World Report staff photographers, primarily Warren K. Leffler, Thomas J. O'Halloran, Marion S. Trikosko, John Bledsoe, and Chick Harrity identified on photographic captions by their initials --WKL, TOH, MST, JTB, and CWH. There are no known restrictions on their photographs." This particular photo was by Leffler, so it is in the public domain per the gift to the Library. --Tom (talk - email) 12:05, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The U.S. News & World Report Magazine did indeed relinquish their rights. This was taken by one of their employees, so they originally owned the rights to it. There are a number of photos from this collection on Commons (maybe we should have an explicit license tag which links to the rights information page). The LoC would have added the "No known restrictions on publication" tag to only those photos known to be taken by U.S. News & World Report employees. The existing license tag is correct.
