Commercial use of Commons Images

[edit]

You said,

"I never understand anyway why WP only wants to present pictures that can be used commercially, but that's a different story."

Here's my reasoning -- as a repository for images for WMF projects, Commons has a certain value. But it's broad value and recognition comes from its use as a repository for images for all purposes. In my own case, three different off-WMF users have used my images taken from Commons, all for commercial use.

As another example, Business Week -- a major US weekly magazine, circulation around one million -- needed images of fifty USA cities to illustrate a web-article. Most, maybe all, came from Commons.

I think that Commons is much richer because those of us who provide images like the thought that they may see wide use, use that requires the commercial tag. And that's what has made it

"a database of 7,960,466 freely usable media files to which anyone can contribute."

Hi Jim, thanks for your comment - before replying, shouldn't we find a place where others can join the discussion? I asked the same question already here: Commons_talk:Licensing#Why_must_pictures_be_commercially_usable? - At least I'd move this discussion over there, ok? --Bernd.Brincken (talk) 14:53, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
So why not have "a database of 7,960,466 freely usable plus 2,465,664 non-commercially usable media files to which anyone can contribute"? The latter sounds like the favourable option to me. --Bernd.Brincken (talk) 19:12, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Muchtar Free-Libya 0234 b1.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Author "Nazi german officials" - that are the authors of the _original_ - see also the Omar Muchtar case. My picture shows the comment of Moscow museum curators below, so it is not just a en:Facsimile of the german document. Once again, what is your motive to edit here in this erratic style?
