False claim about Creative Commons on the website of bulgarian parliament, which in reality is clearly marked as "© 2021 Народно събрание на Република България" ("© 2021 National Assembly of the Republic of Bulgaria"). Though terms of use say: The contents of the portal of the National Assembly may be used freely, unless it is explicitly stated that it is subject to protection under the current Copyright and Related Rights Act. , I believe that marking the content with "© 2021 Народно събрание на Република България" explicitly states that it is subject to protection under the current Copyright and Related Rights Act, because what else it is supposed to mean? Additionally may be used freely doesn't define precisely whether the content may be re-used, modified and so on. Summing everything up: no evidence for Creative Commons (so marking these files as CCed is wrong, disregarding their legal status), content is explicitly marked as (c), therefore free use (according to the terms of use) cannot be applied, and finally, lack of definition of the "free use". All linked files shall be also deleted. Masur (talk) 11:47, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Masur, the exact text in the copyright information page of the The National Assembly of the Republic of Bulgaria states the following:

The National Assembly is the holder of the copyright of the software ensuring the functioning of the Internet portal and its design. (Hense the © 2021 Народно събрание на Република България in the footer.) The content of the portal of the National Assembly can be used freely, unless it is explicitly stated that it is subject to protection under the current Law on copyright and related rights. Therefore, the use of textual content, photos, video materials and other visual elements found on the portal is public and requires only citation. All web portal content is accessible in real-time via a public REST API. View API documentation - click here.

Thank you for considering and taking stance on this information making the final judgement. Pelajanela (talk) 13:12, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Masur I carefully read the teams and conditions and my opinion is the same as the one of @Pelajanela. The use of textual content, photos, video materials and other visual elements found on the portal is public and requires only citation.
I want to ensure you that I carefully considered the license terms before uploading the pictures. There were informal disucssions with other members of the bulgarian Wiki community and other bulgarian NGO members that has focus on copyright related to state institutions.

The key question to me would be what connotation the Bulgarian for "is public" and "can be used freely" has. I see no reason why this should disallow commercial use, so it remains to consider whether it considers derivative works. This is hard to tell from any translation. In any case, if kept it should be marked with {{Attribution}} rather than asserting a specific CC license that clearly isn't there.
  •  Delete per nom. Doesn't meet COM:L requirements: Republication and distribution must be allowed. Publication of derivative work must be allowed. Commercial use of the work must be allowed. --Quick1984 (talk) 03:12, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
     Delete per Quick1984. The current Terms of use (as translated with google translate) do not show compliance with CCBYSA2.5, as listed on the template. For each uploaded file it should be shown it complies with the licensing on Commons to keep the file. Ellywa (talk) 08:21, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: per nomination and discussion, terms of use don't comply with license stated. --Abzeronow (talk) 16:22, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Undeleted per UDR, now complies with cc license. Abzeronow (talk) 21:59, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
