*Comments: I have no great objection to deletion. But I also see no benefit, to this standard practice of removing "commonly misused" tags, which merely encourages people to misuse other tags, which in-turn, become less reliable. It used to be you could pretty much predict which images were copyvios based on what tag they had (e.g. almost all of certain tags were bad, and the bulk of certain other tags were good). Also, in principal, we should ''rarely'' change or remove image copyright tags, as whatever the copyright holder uploaded as, is the legal statement. One should never retroactively changed a legal declaration. If somebody makes a legal declaration of copyright release, then either that release is adequate (leave it alone) or inadequate (delete the image). But anyhow, it seems the tag has already been "unused", and the matter is settled, so I'm mainly just stating my opposition to this ''approach'', rather than this specific deletion. --[[User:Thivierr|Rob]] 06:49, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
**I agree for the most part, although in this case the wording is so vague it seems we must guess as to the uploader's intentions regardless of whether we change the tag or not. [[User:Kaldari|Kaldari]] 07:15, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' This terminology is far too confusing for new users. Effectively obsoleted by NoRightsReserved anyway, which also has the benefit of being much clearer terminology. "CopyrightedFreeUse" means "I found it on a public internet server" to a ''very'' large number of people. - '''[[User:Cohesion|cohesion]]''' 12:52, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
