Legal opinion by Deborah De Angelis on some issues on Wikimedia Commons related to Wiki Loves Monuments in Italy

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Wikimedia Italia asked Deborah De Angelis, a lawyer with specific expertise on copyright issues and Creative Commons licenses, to write a note on the liability of the authorizations used for Wiki Loves Monuments in Italy. The note includes two specific case studies.

According to this memo written by De Angelis, who is also the drafter of the most recent authorization letter used by Wikimedia Italia, there would be no liability to host the images in question since these would be properly CC licensed. Just as importantly, it suggests that the images are appropriately licensed and as a result, they would also be "free" for downstream re-users in the same way any other Creative Commons licensed material would be.

Please note that this memo is not legal advice to any person reading it.
