CC license spectrum

Hello David, thanks for your remark. But, I think here is an misunderstanding: The top creative commons PD MARK(!) (like the copyright mark on the bottom) is not a waiver or license but just an marking of objects which have already fallen undeniable into PD, e.g. by exiting copyright terms. The CC0 is a waiver and license, which might be in some cases unable to remove the exclusive copyright and other rights from an author (at least this is suspected for several jurisdictions). So, from my perspective the PD mark is functional and legal wise different enough to mark as "classical" PD the top of the spectrum, with CC0 close behind. What about making it clear that top and bottom are no licenses but marks? cheers Shaddim (talk) 11:21, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

PS: as specific example: if someone would license something under CC0 in Germany, it couldn't be mark it with the "PD Mark" as this work is "public domain like licensed" but not in public domain (not in the full Common law meaning)

The thing is rated in the Image is the declaration – at least in my interpretation. So consequently the same applys for pd. At least the last version was mistakeable. Furthermore in fact there is no difference between everybody is allowed to do that he want and there is no Copyright. -- David23x (talk) 13:40, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

File source is not properly indicated: File:Creative commons license spectrum.svg

This media may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Creative commons license spectrum.svg, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, 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. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. 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!
