Subject: AW: Lizenzanfrage: 10.000 Meisterwerke der Malerei

Die Bilder, die wir Wikimedia als Komplettpaket 10.000 Meisterwerke zur
Verfügung gestellt haben, sind durchweg gemeinfrei - alle Künstler sind über
70 Jahre tot, entsprechend ist das Urheberrecht abgelaufen. Die Gesamtheit
der Bilder (alle 10.000 auf einmal) unterliegt als solche dem
Datenbankschutz [… ''removed:'' operational business details about the publisher …]
Auf Citizendium bezogen bedeutet dies, dass die Einzelbilder gern genutzt
werden dürfen (wie auch von allen anderen Projekten), von einer
Gesamtüberführung der Bilder in ein eigenes Commons-Äquivalent (das meines
Wissens allerdings nicht existiert) aber abzusehen ist.

TRANSLATION:
Subject: Re: License question: 10.000 Meisterwerke der Malerei

The images, which we made available to Wikimedia as the complete package
"10.000 Meisterwerke", are consistently ''gemeinfrei'' [''note'': the German
''Gemeinfreiheit'' is not identical, only similar to the American ''public domain'']
— all artists have been dead for more than 70 years, and accordingly the
''Urheberrechte'' have expired. [German ''Urheberrecht'' = "fundamental intransferrable
artistic authorship rights" ≈ "moral rights", different from the lax US ''copyright'' laws.]
All images in their entirety (the 10.000 as a whole) are subject to database protection rights
[… ''removed:'' operational business details about the publisher …] Relating to Citizendium
this means that you are welcome to use the single images (like those of all other projects)
[''note'': GFDL], but a complete transferral of the images [as an entire database] into a
Citizendium-owned Commons-equivalent (which to my knowledge doesn't exist)
should be refrained from.
