The requirement that INSC "is notified of its individual use" for each image, might be a non-permissible restriction. Jarekt (talk) 19:26, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
- Comment. You may be right as Commons:Licensing bans such requirements. However I do not understand the origin of this prohibition. Ruslik (talk) 20:20, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
Delete Debian has had arguments about it, and The Desert Island test and Dissident test won out. Basically, there is no guarantee that people have access to communication networks to tell the INSC, and there's no guarantee that people have access to communication networks they can use to notify the INSC without getting in government trouble: imagine this map of nuclear power plants in Asia being used by a pro-electricity group in North Korea, who might be able to copy it by photocopy machines or even woodcut, but not have Internet access, and the person who acquired it from the net could be at great risk of any communication with INSC setting off alarms.--Prosfilaes (talk) 23:24, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
- A notification requirement means it's non-free. One of the practical concerns is I'm not sure that group at the Argonne Laboratory even exists anymore -- so how can notification be made? The origin was the copyright license at the original page. That gave a link to notify, but that web link no longer exists. It does sound like it was a Department of Energy program hosted at Argonne, but unless the maps also qualify for PD-USGov, that license isn't enough.

- Only 5 files in Category:INSC use this template, but they are all being used. en:Template talk:PD-USGov-DOE suggests to use Cc-by license for Argonne Laboratory but it is not clear why. Other images from Argonne Laboratory seem to require Attribution License. --Jarekt (talk) 20:26, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
