Non-free content

This page examines the status of non-free content (like fair use) on Wikimedia Projects. Note that the Wikimedia licensing policy requires that any project allowing non-free content implement an Exemption Doctrine Policy.

Exemption Doctrine Policy

[edit]

An Exemption Doctrine Policy (EDP) is required by the Wikimedia licensing policy for any Wikimedia project that hosts non-free content.

Some EDPs are listed at the Wikidata item: Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria (Q4391089).

A manually maintained list exists below.

Note that, regardless of policy, some Wikimedia projects have zero local media files, and therefore have no non-free content. If the situation is permanent (e.g. because local upload was disabled), the policy may be superseded.

Description of fields

  • Language code: the Wikimedia language code, followed by a colon for easier searching
  • Local uploads: either yes/no, or names of user groups (i.e. only available if you have one of the corresponding permissions).
    • Please note: being "yes" doesn't mean you can just start local uploading right now, being autoconfirmed users on each wikis are the minimum requirement for uploading functions (except Commons, but non-free contents are not allowed).

If the date of death of the creator is unknown, images are allowed if they are old enough. Some of these images can be non-free. These images are marked with Bild-PD-alt-100 or Bild-PD-alt-1923.

it: Italian yes yes EDP per it.wiki Non-free images are allowed if they are not replaceable by free content considering the purpose which they are serving in the article. Narrowly defined circumstances when no other option is or will be available and when it is necessary to understand the subject. Allowed only for: institutional logos (not associations or other logos), stamps and such, frames of films, deceased persons. Disallowed for living people. The Italian copyright law has a provision that short excerpts of a work can be used for presentation, critical analysis, commentary, etc.

Non-free images must be used only in the main namespace of the article directly referring to the subject of the image itself (not in templates, talk pages, user pages, etc) and cannot be used for decorative purposes.

ja: Japanese yes yes 1) 屋外美術を被写体とする写真の利用方針 ("policy on usage of images portraying outdoor artwork"), 2) 日本で著作権が消滅し、米国で著作権が消滅していない画像の利用方針 ("policy on the use of images whose copyright expired in Japan but not in the United States of America", experimental policy) 1) This is a policy on usage of photographs portraying outdoor artwork, concerning freedom of panorama. §46 of Japanese copyright law allows non-commercial reproduction of artistic works located permanently in open places accessible by public, or where it could easily be seen by public. The use must be considered "fair use" regarding the US copyright. 2) This is an experimental policy on usages of images that are in the public domain in Japan but not in the United States because of URAA (Uruguay Round Agreement Act). The use must be considered "fair use" regarding the US copyright. Category:自由利用できないファイル

Local uploading function has been disabled since 27 July 2016, albeit with a very weak consensus with only one user support the disabling of local uploads. Another voting session towards the disabling of local uploading function was held for one month until 6 July 2024, which clearly indicated only half of the community supported the disabling of local uploading function while another half opposed it, revealing that consensus on disabling of uploading function was not reached.
