Thanks for uploading File:9.5×57mm Mannlicher–Schönauer (C.I.P.).pdf. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

- Hello! I am unclear as to what I should use as the license. The image actually comes from the ANSI-SAAMI published website regarding approved and standardised cartridges. This is the entity that publishes the standardised dimensional and pressure data for cartridges in the U.S. CIP does the same internationally. These are the organizations that publish standardization information so that all the different cartridge manufacturers and reloaders follow the same published standards and the "standardised" cartridges will safely fit and function in all standardised chambers from one to another manufacturer of firearms, and from one cartridge manufacturer to the other. I do not know which license to use since the information contained is freelly available for use by anyone. It would be a problem if one individual or company were to make something unsafe in any particular way, therefore the information is published and the cartridge nomenclature is the same across standardised cartridges. I definitely need help to figure out what license to use... Anything you can do for me would be helpful! Thanks for your note... Best Regards! Smaugmra (talk) 20:31, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
