Template talk:MultiLicenseImagePD

Purpose of this template
The only difference (as I type this) between this licensing statement and Template:MultiLicensePD are the words "and image" in the first sentence (plus, I've simplified the table code a bit). - dcljr 20:48, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Retiring
Because it's actually legally impossible to grant one's own works into the public domain in the U.S. and U.K., and this creates serious potential legal problems, I will deprecate this tag if there is no dissent for 4 days. Please see You can't grant your work into the public domain for a full explanation along with some authoritative sources, including the U.S. Copyright Office. I have created the tags TextLicenseFreeUse and ImageLicenseFreeUse, which together reflect the intent of this template. Deco 03:33, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Please ignore the above. This template has not been retired and there was considerable dissent over the accuracy of my statements. I no longer contend that it is impossible to release one's works into the public domain - I am not a lawyer and there is no legal precedent in this matter. The link above should redirect to relevent discussion. Deco 05:34, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
