Talk:Georges Painvin

There is a picture of this person on the French Wikipedia, but I can't add it to this article because the copyright tag doesn't give enough information. Hut 8.5 14:49, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I think the assertion on fr: that their photograph is in the public domain may be incorrect, I don't know. There's a photograph supplied by Painvin in David Kahn's Codebreakers which dates from 1914; it's reasonable to suppose that the photo on fr: dates from the same period (possibly even the same series of photos). If we don't know the author or publishing date, then "in all other cases (anonymous works, works made for hire, unknown author or death date unknown), the work is considered copyright protected until 120 years after its creation" Public domain. &mdash; Matt Crypto 16:40, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Simon Singh in The Code Book gives the credit for that picture as "David Kahn Collection", which makes me think it may be copyrighted. I expect we'll have to wait until 2034 then! Hut 8.5 19:10, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 * We could reasonably use a fair use rationale; no alternative exists or could be created that is free. &mdash; Matt Crypto 21:35, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Good idea. I've uploaded the one that you suggested. Hut 8.5 18:55, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
