Not subject to Crown copyright. Not PD in 1996; not PD in US, per URAA -- N'est pas sujet au droit d'auteur de la Couronne. N'est pas dans le domaine public aux USA; n'était pas dans le domaine public en 1996 Webfil (talk) 14:13, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
Keep It clearly states in the original file location the following words "Droit d'auteur non évalué", which is a slick way of saying there are no copyrights on this picture and they are too lazy to properly say that this is public domain. When we are under a case of "Copyright not evaluated", it is their job to come here and prove to us that, in the end, they are upholding the rights to the photo, which is not the case here. The way BANQ works is simple : it's either CC, or Public Domain, Under Copyright Law or Copyright not evaluated. This image is just floating around with no precise copyright law attached, and therefore it's completely ok if it ends up on wikipedia. From this moment on, it is their job to come on here and tell us they've changed their copyright regarding this particular image and that they'd like us to take it down - which, of course, we'll happily oblige. But under the circumstances, no, this image does fit the criterias of being uploaded on wikicommons - we cannot possibly be held accountable for hosting an image with no copyrights attached, therefore we are in our rights.--Danalieth (talk) 00:32, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
- Comment. This photo is by Jules Rochon, an official photographer employed by the government and the director of the photographic documentation at the Ministry of Communications. It is part of a series in the fonds of the Ministry of Communications. It seems reasonable to assume that its status was indeed Crown copyright. More difficult may be to know if it was published soon after its creation. It was taken in 1970. -- Asclepias (talk) 17:30, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
