Yes. Even though a restoration may not create a new copyright, it is absolutely relevant to have full details on the restoration, and to suggest reusers note the restoration (e.g. "Sir James Foo, 1875, photographed by Fred Bar, 2009 restoration by Fred Quux") so as to correctly inform their readers (as well as motivating the restorers). The eBay reseller named at the top of this thread may (or may not) have done something morally questionable, but I think it's a major stretch to claim they've actually done something illegal, or would lose if sued. - d. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
