There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful informations about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

- Hey, um, I am having a little problem uploading an image for the article Voltio at the English Wikipedia. Okay, I found the image at peopleenespanol.com, where there are pictures of various celebrities, but in a public domain. All I am trying to do is redistribute and show it in the article, but confused on what license I need. El cangri386 17:52, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Please respect my request to keep discussions where they started, as this makes conversations easier to follow. I am watching this page, so I will see responses made here.
- That image, which appears on http://www.peopleenespanol.com/pespanol/en/articles/0,22490,1686775,00.html is not in the public domain. It is clearly labelled as coming from Getty Images. It must not be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, and you will not find an applicable licensing tag here because Commons does not accept non-free images such as this one. —LX (talk, contribs) 17:58, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

The image is cropped from an image from apple.com, Apple Computer Inc. (probably the holder of copyrights) does not give a permission to publish this image under a free licence (public domain) -Martin H. (talk) 23:03, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
- from the Talkpage:
I really don't see how this image should be deleted. It's being used for showing what the product looks like and that's what it looks like. I've seen the exact same picture from Apple's website. All the user seemed to do was make it so only one iPod is being displayed. 67.8.190.56 23:05, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
- Hi, the images here on Commons must be realy free, on some wikipedia projects there is a concept named "fair use" accepted to illustrate articels without free images, there is no fair use on commons. You sourced the image to Apple.inc, editing some others work is a derivative work, cropping is not even derivative because it is not very challenging. If you want to publish a derivative work the copyright holder of the original work must give his (written) permission. This image is not derivative, it is simply the property of Apple, i dont think you have a written permission to publish it. --Martin H. (talk) 23:17, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
