Hi everyone, this is a painting from 1315 so its in public domain, correct? --Matt57 (talkcontribs) 15:22, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but apparently the library is trying to assert that they own the copyright anyhow WilyD 15:36, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
How sure you are the library cannot have the rights? "Hmm...thinking about it, it could be that if this image has been digitised from the manuscript by the university library, then it may own the copyright to that specific digital image if that was the specific image being distributed (and used here). However, they don't own the copyright of the original. I'll look in to it more and contact colleagues who will know more about this than I do. ColdmachineTalk 15:42, 25 July 2007 (UTC)" --- A. L.

Please also see this section at the ANI. The image is in public domain. --Matt57 (talkcontribs) 16:07, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Image is now on commons, so can't be dealt with here anyway. --Alvestrand 05:25, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
