Crown Copyright is no longer allowed on Commons




Check the web site before you use images. Not all UK government web sites are as liberal. Secretlondon 20:45, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Also note that not everything on a UK government web site is actually under Crown copyright and that the Royal Arms, departmental and agency logos are not covered under the typical terms of use for a website. They cannot be used without specific permission.

List of UK government departments we can use

edit

List of UK government departments we can't use

edit

Unclear as to exact status, so can't use until clear

edit
  • Courts' Services Inspectorate - legal notice is "(replace this text with the appropriate content)"!
  • Ministry of Defence. [1] - what does this mean? Previously...
    • British Army, no copyright information immediately visible, but Royal Artillery portion of the site has a compatible copyright notice
    • Royal Navy has copyright notice with all rights reserved, but it not clear exactly what that means in the context of Guidance Note 13 referenced below.
edit

Non-commercial or otherwise a little odd, need separate page

edit

For official HMSO guidance on the matter see Guidance Note 13 on their website.

Requireing "accurate reproduction" makes this a non-free license

edit

I belive that requireing accurate reproduction does not allow others to publish derivative work, thus making the crown copyright a non-free license. Please have a look at Commons:Village pump#Crown Copyright is non-free. -- Duesentrieb 14:18, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
