File permission problem with File:Calif-iou.gif
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Calif-iou.gif. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly (Parrot) 20:15, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

- I have had a look and no commercial, no derivatives. This is not an acceptable license, out of the creative commons licenses we can have CC-BY or CC-BY-SA or CC-zero. So I am going to have to delete sorry. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:37, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
- Take a read of Wikipedia:Copyrights. Wikipedia is designed to be copied by others and used freely to develop new things. So a picture must be available for any use, including commercial use, and it must be available to change - make derivatives. This means that content cannot have the -nd or -nc tags on its CC license. CC-zero means all rights released basically. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 13:22, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
