Licensing edit
Would the following tag be suitable for licensing? {{Translation licence|original={{PD-GovEdict}}|translation={{PD-GovEdict}}}} -- 李博杰 | —Talk contribs 05:56, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
- It would be suitable, but bringing commons:Template:PD-DPRKGov here will be much more specific.--Jusjih (talk) 17:09, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
The copyright on the act edit
I don't believe at all that the act itself is subject to copyright but "performed for free" is not the proper provision for a translation unless the Korean word for "performed" includes "published". --Doug.(talk • contribs) 07:13, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
- Wikisource has the copyright act of 2001, which says that laws aren't protected by copyright. However, in the copyright act of 2006, there seems to be a non-commercial restriction (see Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/Template:PD-DPRKGov). I'm not sure if this means that it isn't permitted to host the 2001 act either. --Stefan2 (talk) 15:51, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- I've brought up the issue at Wikisource:Possible copyright violations#Copyright Law of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. I hope that this can be clarified. --Stefan2 (talk) 16:07, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
