What does "There has been now attached Copyright, and is thus free for personal use" mean? If this was a typo (i.e. "NO attached Copyright"), then it is in error; under international copyright law, works are copyrighted unless they are explicitly released into public domain (either by an act of the owner or by expiration of the copyright). You don't have to claim a copyright in order to have it. It's automatic.

We have to have explicit permission from the copyright holder in order to use this image. —Fr. Andrew ^talk contribs 14:44, August 6, 2007 (PDT)

My bad. I fixed the spelling and changed the tag (there is no proof of Copyright, but there isn't permission for free use). Thanks, ~ Troy 16:40, August 7, 2007 (PDT)

If you can secure explicit permission for our use, then we'll keep it. Otherwise, it will have to be deleted. Remember that copyright is automatic without any notice required. (Proof of copyright is only required if there is a contest in court, and a copyright notice isn't necessarily a guarantee of that, anyhow.)

I notice that the image is now tagged as being in the public domain (free for any public use without any permission whatsoever required). Is this really the case? Did the copyright owner of the image release it? —Fr. Andrew ^talk contribs 06:20, August 8, 2007 (PDT)
