Request For a nonspecialist, the nominated image looks pretty much like this one (three first columns), which is the third source given in the image description. In this description, the link points to that simple slide without any mention of copyright, but the full reference quoted as source n°3 is a book, still sold (ISBSN-13: 978-1859962527). One can find its digital version on Google books, till the page "Tanner stages". A problem, perhaps: of course, this rather recent book is a copyright-protected work, with a mention "All rights reserved". So my question is: isn't there any copyrighting issue for the presently nominated derivative work? --Myrabella (talk) 12:22, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Info My work is a derivative of many sources. That truth is most similar to that specified by you. But there is also a vector version of this foto: [[1]]. I gave all the sources which are used - I don't hide that. This image is connection of sources and my teoretical knowledge. But i'm not specialist of copyright. --M•Komorniczak -talk-16:04, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your transparency. I'm afraid the other source you mention might be copyrighted too. The photo comes from the site uptodateonline.com. One must suscribe to be allowed to crawl the whole site, and we can read in the page License Agreement: "PROHIBITED USES: Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, any copying, distribution or modification of the Licensed Materials is strictly prohibited." --Myrabella (talk) 19:32, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I understand that, however this is not this image - but only image "inspired" by. If we interpret that restrictively copyright that this image File:RNA splicing diagram en.svg also break the licens (look to sources: [2]). I understand this prohibition (copyright) that I can't put original image/foto to webpage - but if I make fusion of many image, and change information (or draw from foto) that is legal. But I say again I'm not a specialist. I can change image if you think that is needed. --M•Komorniczak -talk-21:13, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
About File:RNA splicing diagram en.svg: the source leads up to Wiley copyright, which says: "Nothing on this Web site or in the Wiley publications and material may be downloaded, reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, modified, made available on a network, used to create derivative works, (and so on)"—however, it is not that image reviewed now. The nominated image seems unique for this scope on Commons and very valuable but it is quite similar to the original sources (drawing and photo) and I would like to be sure that there isn't any copyright infringement. --Myrabella (talk) 21:55, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Unique picture for the scope on Commons. I was hesitating regarding the copyright, but one might argue that it is inspired by other images but not copied; moreover, most of the layout, including the exact proportional differences of details between the different stages, is predetermined by academic facts (or theories) and thus could be not eligible for copyright (arguments suggested by Martin H., thanks to him). Nevertheless, it is a layperson's opinion, as mine. --Myrabella (talk) 21:56, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
