incorrect license. UK immigration stamps are clearly not owned by the scanner and crown copyright applies Spartaz (talk) 04:29, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Kept: No copyright here. Too simple. Yann (talk) 18:18, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Crown and Parliamentary copyright (Crown copyright): Where a work is made by Her Majesty or by an officer or servant of the Crown in the course of his duties— (a.) the work qualifies for copyright protection notwithstanding section 153(1) (ordinary requirement as to qualification for copyright protection), and (b.) Her Majesty is the first owner of any copyright in the work." (The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, Chapter 48, Part I, Chapter X, Section 163, Subsection 1.) [1]
The provisions contained in the 1988 Act appear a blanket one, and nowhere in the Act specifies which works of the Government are ineligible for British Crown copyright; and the British Open Government Licence also appears to implicitly exclude, although not by name, British Immigration stamps issued by the Home Office (i.e., Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department) or the agencies thereof, therein or thereto ("other intellectual property rights, including patents, trade marks, and design rights; identity documents such as the British Passport") [2].

 Kept, although work of British government is protected with copyright, this file does not surpass threshold of originality. Taivo (talk) 12:58, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
