A quick check reveals that the image originated from The Changing Land: Between the Jordan and the Sea by Benjamin Z. Kedar. Source image is only revealed to be "Bavarian" in the book itself, while Google Books asserts that the images are copyrighted - whose country's copyright laws should apply?

 * If it is an image taken from a satellite (per the image name) it is obviously much newer than 1918. The claim that it has been 50 years since the photo was developed would therefore be invalid.  Gnome de plume (talk) 14:35, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Wrong forum. PUI is for images which are tagged as free but may not be. Please use WP:NFR or if a non-free image is disputed. Stifle (talk) 20:12, 3 February 2009 (UTC) It seems like a free version could be created by anyone of a different subject matter.  MBisanz  talk 04:23, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The license is correct and has rational. Possibly unfree images refers to copyrighted images pretending to be free as this is not the case discussion is CLOSED.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 18:50, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Looks more like a screenshot than own-work, judging by the image quality and the angle. dave pape (talk) 18:49, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

According to Commons:Commons:Freedom of panorama, Japanese law states that this image can only be used for non-commercial purposes and thus cannot be released under Wikipedia-appropriate free license. &mdash;/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 23:51, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

I took this photo myself; there are no commercial purposes for its use in the Wikipedia article. --Jmckinley
 * However, there is a requirement for images on Wikipedia, if they're to be classified as free use images, to be released under a license that permits derivative works and commercial usage. Japanese copyright law expressly states that you as a photographer do not have commercial rights to images of artwork (in this case, the Asahi Flame), and therefore cannot release the image under a license that grants commercial rights. That's the problem. &mdash;/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 22:16, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
