This page was subject to a Request for deletion at [1]. The request was closed by the nominator after an actual usage of the file was created, based on a Fair Use claim by the nominator. The nominator edited the page to alter the license information.

The original claim (claims are at least partly substituted to show what existed in the templates as of today, these may be changing:

Public domain I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby release my work worldwide into the public domain. Where this is not legally possible, I grant anyone the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law.

(added) Category:Public domain images

The new claim is

Copyright undetermined This work is copyrighted. The individual who uploaded this work and first used it in an article, as well as subsequent persons who place it into articles, asserts that this qualifies as fair use of the material under United States copyright law.

Note: The kinds of things that are considered acceptable for fair use on Wikiversity is significantly less than what is legally permitted. Please consult the Fair Use Policy to see if this content is permitted on Wikiversity under these further restrictions. Also see the Wikiversity Exemption Doctrine Policy.

Non-free media usage rationale for Autopoiesis/Economics

Not free because:

Published by Ante Lauc under a non-commercial license, no evidence provided to Commons:OTRS.

Required because:

It is in limited use on the learning resource page Autopoiesis/Economics, its presence is purely for educational purposes, and there is almost no chance its market value would decrease.


This is inaccurate. First of all, the uploader did not claim fair use. The link in the template is not to Wikiversity policy, but to the Foundation licensing resolution.

It is true that Ante Lauc published this elsewhere under a noncommercial license. If that were relevant, it should be linked. But it is not relevant, so far, because the only evidence we have of such publication was later than the upload here (see the RFD); here he explicitly released the page under PD-self. It would be prior publication which could require OTRS evidence, and that, itself, is not established Wikiversity policy, it is a Commons (and Wikipedia?) policy.

Regardless, if the file is PD, we can use it unconditionally, and if it is Fair Use or other Non-free permitted use, we can use it, under certain conditions, unless something else can be found that is clearly and fully free without question. I am leaving this comment for the future. Had this file been deleted, the release into the public domain, almost certainly by the author, would be hidden. --Abd (discusscontribs) 19:42, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
