Problem with Fair use rationale[edit]

There are many contour maps on Commons Atlas. The free version of map can be created Alex Spade

Original book is from 1928 and thus PD, but the amateur translation of is from 1990s. Thus the original map is PD, but I don't know if translating (a PD book) creates a new copyright? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk} 16:03, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest, that translation (which was made in 1990s) of PD-maps is copyrighted as default. I think, we have two ways - translate again or ask author of translation for permission of his works under free license. Alex Spade 20:16, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are correct; I will ask the author for the free license.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk} 20:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I got a positive reply, but so far it is a attribution/permission based... tommorow I will explain to the author why permission is not enough.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk} 07:45, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good news, the entire pymy website will be under cc-by-sa-2.5 :) --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk} 17:00, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for good news. Please, if it's possible, add the link to words entire pymy website will be under cc-by-sa-2.5 (may be pygmy website?), or remail copy of permission under this license to permissions@wikimedia.org. Alex Spade 17:17, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I fwd the correspondence to permissions. Hopefully we will be able to add a link to CC declaration on pygmy website soon.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk} 18:49, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Check the bottom of [1] :D --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk} 17:21, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's {{Cc-by-sa-3.0}} permission. The free status of this license is still discussed. But it's not deprecated. For example, we can attempt to write desciption like here. Alex Spade 19:35, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The email permission was for 2.5 anyway, so we can pick and choose. I have not heard anything about 3.0 controversies, where can I read more about the problem?--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk} 19:59, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
