Press photo. Permission only for "publication", no mention of derivative work or commercial use. 88.134.232.95 02:55, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

when I uploaded the picture (back in 2005), the description of the picture read Veröffentlichung honorarfrei bei Quellenangabe. "Foto: Presseamt Stadt Münster". Belegexemplar bitte an Stadt Münster · Presse- und Informationsamt · 48127 Münster as the licence-template says. You can check this at archive.org. Additionally I was in contact (via mail) with Presseamt of Münster and they wrote: Pictures may be used for non-commercial purposes. I checked back, said that wasn't enough and Joachim Schiek (head of Presseamt) told me Einige Fotos (z.B. Rathaus und ein Prinzipalmarkt-Motiv) stehen unter www.muenster.de/stadt/galerie nur mit dem Vermerk "Presseamt Stadt Münster" ohne ergänzenden Fotografen-Namen. Diese Bilder können Sie auf jeden Fall verwenden, da hier auch das Urheberrecht beim Presseamt liegt (engl.: Some Photos at www.muenster.de/stadt/galerie are credited to "Presseamt Stadt Münster" only, without any additional name of the photographer. These you can use whatsoever, since the Presseamt holds the copyright. This is documented at de:Benutzer_Diskussion:Florian_Adler/Archiv#Fotos. the original emails are still in my gmail-archive and can be forwarded (german languange) --schlendrian •λ• 13:51, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm, I'm not 100% sure these photos are completely free. "Veröffentlichung honorarfrei bei Quellenangabe." is just a press license, meaning that you can use these images in newspapers, magazines etc. It does not mention whether you can use the images for every purpose or make derivative works. Does the answer of the Presseamt explicitly mention use for whatever purpose and derivative works? In many cases press people unfortunately don't understand the implications and if asked if commercial use (advertisements, posters, t-shirts) and derivative works are allowed they outright forbid it (there were several cases like this in the past). It might be useful to forward the emails to the OTRS. --88.134.232.95 22:55, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
the emails have already been forwarded to german OTRS, please wait for them to check. Other images uploaded under the same reasons include Image:Schiff1.jpg, Image:Pier3.jpg and Image:Zwinger4.jpg, they have to be treaded like Poolballs1 --schlendrian •λ• 15:02, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
according to OTRS response, the permission does not state explicitly, that commericial use is permitted. Wrong in my opinion, but nothing to do about. I'll see if i can find free pics but won't send mails to the city of Münster again, to request a permission I already recieved in a time there was nothing like OTRS to send permissions to --schlendrian •λ• 20:56, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
