Just a month ago, the Swedish government initiated a report on reviewing current copyright. The assignment even has a specific section "The possibilities of reproducing works of art in a public place should be made clearer" with the remark "It is important that the possibilities to freely reproduce such works are not restricted more than absolutely necessary." The report should be concluded in November 2023. Ainali (talk) 21:32, 1 September 2022 (UTC)


 * @Ainali the review does not seem to be favorable for Wikimedians, however. See c:Commons:Village pump/Copyright/Archive/2024/01. Although it may be more favorable in the context of no longer making Wikimedia Sweden a target of artists' groups in the country, it is less so for Wikimedians globally desiring to share Swedish monuments on Wikimedia sites. Expect a small dose of frustration for the upcoming FoP in Sweden soon, to be aligned similarly to architecture-only FoP of Finland, Norway, Denmark, Russia, Japan, Taiwan, and USA.
