I assume this image was originally licensed under the CC-BY when it was uploaded

I assume that when this image was reviewed by FlickreviewR, it was licensed under the CC-BY like it says, because when I check the link to the image now it says it's licensed under the CC-BY-NC.

However, I can't say that I'm able to determine that, because when I checked the WayBack Machine there was only one archive in 2019, and it was licensed under the CC-BY-NC when that one archive was made.

If there is evidence that this was licensed under the CC-BY-NC before it was uploaded or reviewed, we may have to nominate this file for deletion as CC-BY-NC files considered non-free according to commons policies. That would be a shame because the file is even used in an article on the English Wikipedia. If not, or if there's evidence that it was licensed under the CC-BY before it was uploaded or reviewed, we might be able to keep this but put a warning on it.

In the meantime, I've just put this here:

When this file was uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, it was available from Flickr under the stated license. The Flickr user has since stopped distributing the file under this license. As Creative Commons licenses cannot be revoked in this manner, the file is still free to use under the terms of the license specified. See the Creative Commons FAQ on revoking licensing.

License history exists. CHecked it. It was licensed under the CC-BY before it was changed to the CC-BY-NC. AuroraANovaUma ^-^ (talk) 19:50, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
