I dont think, that Template:PD-Polish fits here; he died 1947 in London; he never lived in the People's Republic of Poland (as he did not return after the war) so the image was not taken under the law of the PRP ...Sicherlich Post 23:51, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep In short, it has nothing to do with Żeligowski. The picture was neither owned by him, made by him nor published by him. It was PD already the very moment it was made, as it was an official portrait of a Polish officer, PD by default. Originally probably licensed under the pre-war copyright, it was published several times after the war as well. Both copyrights were almost identical anyway, so it's simply easier to tag them after the known publisher than to trace the very first publisher to publish it - as PD anyway.

    • in other words: if someone took a image i made and publised it (before 1994) without my permission in Poland it is PD worldwide? i doubt that ...Sicherlich Post 04:57, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Nope. If you were a Polish photographer, making pictures for the Polish Army under the regulations demanding all officers to have an official portrait in full gala uniform, and then the picture would be used according to the original purpose (to be published by the Army wherever it sees fit, as was the case with this one), the picture would not loose anything. It would still be PD, as from the beginning. Halibutt 09:55, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • so where do you know from that the image was
  1. made by a polish photographer
  2. made in Poland
  • and how can the law of the Peoples Republic of Poland be valid for the time before? maybe the photpographer was french? the photo taken in London? hte PRP did not exist at the time the picture was taken (as he died before) ...Sicherlich Post 11:42, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
