Template:Non-free in US

  • Template

This file is NOT necessarily in the public ___domain in the United States because a non-simple image can only be in the public ___domain in the U.S.:

  • if it entered the public ___domain in its source country prior to 1996, or
  • when, after that date, its copyright term expires in accordance with U.S. law.

Information about the creation date and creator should be provided.

If the image is not in the public ___domain in the United States, in addition to the license tag for its status in its source country an appropriate fair use license and rationale should be provided, or the image should be proposed for deletion.

If the media is in the public ___domain in both its source country and the United States, it may be transferred to the Wikimedia Commons.

Note: If this image is in the public ___domain in the U.S., modify the end of the copyright tag from }} to |commons}}.
This will replace the preceding U.S. copyright notification with a nomination for this image to be moved to the Wikimedia Commons.

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used to mark media which are not necessarily free of copyright restrictions in the use, typically because the US does not apply the "rule of the shorter term" , or that a work was restored for a full copyright term under URAA.

Usage

On certain media license templates, this template is included automatically where relevant.

However to include the wording manually on media (or inside a template.) use:

{{Non-free in US|origin country|URAA date for country}}

where (optionally):

  • origin country is the country of origin for the media, such as Mexico, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, Spain.
  • URAA date for country is the date prior to which works which works already in the public ___domain could not be restored in the United States.

(The default is 1996, but a few countries have URAA dates which post-date this.)

The above documentation is transcluded from Template:Non-free in US/doc. (edit | history)
Editors can experiment in this template's sandbox (edit | diff) and testcases (create) pages.
