Licensing[edit]

These are all marked as PD. However they're not clearly PD by age in the US, they're dedicated to PD (a legally tricky area itself) by the hosting library.

The statement of this needs to be clearer. As it is, the PD tags on the images are age-based and they're thus exposed to yet another 'good faith' bulk deletion by one of Commons' many highly productive editors. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:33, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • The licensing on these isn't particularly clear, from both the museums and the interpretation for Commons.

There are a batch of these loaded in 2017 from the Nationaal Archief that were given their deliberate CC0 dedication: File:Feesten en kermis te Volendam, Bestanddeelnr 900-5393.jpg
The current ongoing upload is claiming (the now-valid) pma+70. However there's a tagging problem on those, which is falsely claiming that they were published in the US before 1929 (they're obviously a decade after this). Commons has issues with European PD after the 1920s and has frequently done large batch deletions of PD content on that basis. I'm not sure how best to prevent this (see link above).
The statement you link, The release of Emmy Andriesse’s legacy in the public domain, both in physical form in the Special Collections reading room and online via Digital Collections, is in line with the UBL's ambition to release every digitised image from the Digital Collections that may, by law, be released publicly, in the public domain. is confused. It's neither necessary (content enters the PD by itself, it doesn't have to be deliberately released to it), nor even clearly legally practical in the US (post-facto PD dedication is fraught there).
