It isn't clear from the summary whether Horst Frank is the author of the photo only or the author of the depicted object. ŠJů (talk) 12:28, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Horst Frank is the author of the photo only, because he is alive today and has a User page on de.wp, while the depicted object is "... a German board game (but not a German-style board game), by Joseph Friedrich Schmidt (1907/1908)." [1] Mutante (talk) 13:19, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- Life dates of original author Joseph Friedrich Schmidt are 1871-1948, according to this source (pdf). If considered as a work of art, it would be protected until 2018 (1948 +70). Here are contact data of the company that produced the original form of the game, the Schmidt Spiele-Verlag. Somebody might ask them, 1) whether this is really their design (because there were many copycats) and, if yes, 2) whether they grant us permission.--Túrelio (talk) 13:26, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- I think, Joseph Friedrich Schmidt has patented the game, but he may not be the author of every packing graphic. --ŠJů (talk) 14:28, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hi! I photographed the Box a few years ago, so I am the author of the image. I am not the author of the Box itself. The shown gamebox is no longer in the trade, it is very old (1950th i guess). --Horst Frank (talk) 16:08, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- i wrote a mail with this link http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensch_%C3%A4rgere_dich_nicht to Schmidtspiele here the Answer:
Sehr geehrter Herr ############, vielen Dank für Ihre E-Mail und den Hinweis. Zunächst interessiert es uns, mit wem wir es konkret zu tun haben. Sind Sie Wikipedia-Administrator? Hinsichtlich des oberen Fotos der älteren "Mensch ärgere Dich nicht"-Ausgabe können wir die Abbildung in Wikipedia erlauben. Das Bild rechts "Spielfeld für vier Personen" stammt allem Anschein nicht von einem originalen "Mensch ärgere Dich nicht"-Spiel. Diese Spielplan-Abbildung empfehlen wir im Zusammenhang mit dem Original-Spiel zu löschen. Stattdessen fügen wir Ihnen die Datei des aktuellen Spielplans bei und erlauben hiermit die Abbildung. Mit freundlichen Grüßen aus Berlin ########
the google translation:

- the Schmidt Spiele GmbH suggest that this image: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mensch_%C3%A4rger_dich_nicht_006.jpg is not an original Board. They send me images of the original board. could someone help me to find the right license for this? --Horst Frank (talk) 09:12, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
- You need to ask Schmidt Spiele GmbH for a specific license, if they release it for Wikipedia only, it is not enough. You can use this email template and ask them to answer to OTRS directly. –Tryphon☂ 09:46, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
