Summary

Description
English: Although it is listed as a book cover, it is actually a title page to the original edition of the Revised Standard Version of the Bible, taken from the following address:
Source http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=120169763145&Category=378
Author National Council of Churches
Permission
(Reusing this file)

The image will be used in the article on the RSV Bible. The RSV is copyrighted by the Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA. No challenge to the copyright is implied. It qualifies as fair use because this particular edition of the RSV, dating from before 1971, is out of print, and because it is used for illustration purposes only.

The text here shown is in the public domain: except for the seven words and the ampersand at the bottom, everything is part of the full title of the Revised Standard Version. Titles cannot be copyrighted: someone could otherwise be sued for citing the book by its title, and such an idea is completely implausible.

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain
The depicted text is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it is not a “literary work” or other protected type in sense of the local copyright law. Facts, data, and unoriginal information which is common property without sufficiently creative authorship in a general typeface or basic handwriting, and simple geometric shapes are not protected by copyright. This tag does not generally apply to all images of texts. Particular countries can have different legal definition of the “literary work” as the subject of copyright and different courts' interpretation practices. Some countries protect almost every written work, while other countries protect distinctively artistic or scientific texts and databases only. Extent of creativeness, function and length of the text can be relevant. The copyright protection can be limited to the literary form – the included information itself can be excluded from protection.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
