Are you suggesting that Commons *does* let us upload a pre-1923 work by a British artist who died in 1960? Because that is very much not the case on the Wikimedia Commons to which I contribute. Likewise, Cary's suggestion that Commons takes a view on "bad law" is clearly not correct, as can be seen over the PD-1996 discussions. Gaurav Vaidya's suggestion sounds like a good one to me.
