[edit] Licensing

This image is in the public domain because the Danish Consolidated Act on Copyright of 2003 specifies (§70, 2) that all photographic images not considered to be "works of art" become public domain 50 years after they were created. According to the transitional regulations of 1995, photographic images without artistic merit are exempt from copyright protection provided that they were created before 1 January 1970 (§91, 5). Note that "photographic works", which must display artistic merit or originality, enter the public domain 70 years after the death of the photographer. See Licensing for details. Some countries, such as Germany, do not apply a shorter term for simple works, so this image may not be usable in such countries. To uploader: Please provide where the image was first published and who created it.
