Summary edit

Description
English: Original proposal for the national flag of Zimbabwe. According to the Southern African Vexillological Association, oversight of a national flag for Zimbabwe was conducted by the government independence celebrations committee headed by Mr Richard Hove, Minister of Public Works. A letter sent to the Flag Research Centre by a Cederic Herbert, Flight Lieutenant of the Rhodesian Air Force and member of the Rhodesian Heraldry & Genealogy Society, states that the original design did not include the Zimbabwe Bird, and that Mr. Herbert made the suggestion of its addition due to its uniqueness and historical importance. This was accepted by the committee and Prime Minister.

Public domain This work was first published in Zimbabwe (or one of its antecedents) and is now in the public domain in Zimbabwe because its copyright protection has expired by virtue of the Copyright and Neighboring Rights Act, enacted 2000 (details). The work meets one of the following criteria:
  • It is an anonymous work or pseudonymous work and 50 years have passed since the date of its publication (or creation, whatever date is the latest)
  • It is a collective, audiovisual or photographic work, and 50 years have passed since the date of its publication (or creation, whatever date is the latest)
  • It is a sound recording or broadcast and 50 years have passed since the date of its publication
  • It is an artistic, literary, or musical work created under the direction of the state or an international organization and 50 years have passed since the date of its publication
  • It is another kind of work, and 70 years have passed since the year of death of the author (or last-surviving author)
  • It is one of "official texts of enactments, bills prepared for presentation in parliament, official records of judicial proceedings and decisions, other material published in the Gazette, official texts of international conventions, treaties and agreements to which Zimbabwe is a party"

A Zimbabwean work that is in the public domain in Zimbabwe according to this rule is in the public domain in the U.S. only if it was in the public domain in Zimbabwe in 1996, e.g. if it was published before 1946 and no copyright was registered in the U.S. (This is the effect of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (17 USC 104A) with its critical date of January 1, 1996.)

This work is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it consists entirely of information that is common property and contains no original authorship.
Insignia This image shows a flag, a coat of arms, a seal or some other official insignia. The use of such symbols is restricted in many countries. These restrictions are independent of the copyright status.
