Follow-up Comment #1, bug #23814 (project freeciv): Here's a copy of my analysis in the Debian bug report from Jun 21, for our own records.

Please remove this file from the source tarball. This was originally added to Freeciv upstream in patch #2011. Flag is described as "PD image" in that ticket, but the version of http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_Sikkim_monarchy.svg that was current at the time appears to have had a tag {{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}}. This isn't quite the same as what the SVG metadata claims, I think; don't know if that makes any difference. The current version on Commons is described as "This file is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it consists entirely of information that is common property and contains no original authorship." So we could use that instead? >> data/flags/saxony.svg is licensed under CC 3.0. Please mention this in your >> debian/copyright. This was added upstream under patch #2205. The then-current version of the Commons file http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Banner_of_Saxony_(1%5E1).svg was described as "Permission=Own work, all rights released (Public domain)". The current version is described as being in the public domain for various being-a-state-symbol sorts of reasons. If so, it looks like the embedded licence metadata for this file is in error. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://gna.org/bugs/?23814> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Gna! http://gna.org/ _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
