Seen on the pump:
Please, just ignore those bogus copyright claims. The
painting is in
the public domain and the digitization process is not
creative.—Eloquence <http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Eloquence>
Does that mean that I can take a book out of the library on, say,
Constable, and scan the reproductions of his paintings for wikipedia?
Could the copyright gurus pronounce on this please?
