 * A concern has been raised about the copyright status of the design of this trophy. However, regardless of this copyright status, it would still satisfy our fair-use criteria for existence on the Dudley Hewitt Cup page, since logically, if the design of the trophy is unfree, a free image of the trophy would be impossible to create.

 * In that case, it would be necessary to add a non-free license tag and fair use rationale. We also have the separate issue of inadequate OTRS permission on the photo itself. Kelly  hi! 08:09, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
 * The creator of the file has e-mailed OTRS twice to express his wish that the file be released to public domain or under some sharing license, but the permission is being held up because he was not aware of the form letter. The permission should not be an issue - soon.  DMighton (talk) 15:09, 24 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Canadian copyright law allows for freedom of panorama. There is no copyright infringement here as the right to reproduce 3D works of art/craftsmanship, including as a photograph, is permissible. As such, the photographer has the right to release this image into the public domain. Resolute 15:59, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Is the trophy permanantly situated in a public place or building? Kelly  hi! 09:30, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I can't speak to this specific trophy, but the answer for every one I have taken a photo of in the past is yes. Resolute 17:41, 26 October 2014 (UTC)


 * This would fall under freedom of panorama as Resolute mentions. -DJSasso (talk) 17:23, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
 * This would still need OTRS permission from the photographer. Is this available in the OTRS ticket? --Stefan2 (talk) 02:46, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * The photographer is resubmitting it... he didn't use the form letter the first time. DMighton (talk) 03:26, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Done. DMighton (talk) 23:52, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
