That's almost correct :) There are some exceptions due to a relative low "Threshold of originality" for logos in German law. E.g. this is considered public domain by German law (but not internationally, so Commons doesn't have it): http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Laufendes-Auge_2.jpg On the other hand, there are very few cases, where an image on Commons can't be used in German Wikipedia. Example: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Albert_Einstein_photo_1920.jpg?uselang=de Regards, Tobias
