The image namespace contains images and the pages describing them. These include the copyright tags. Each image must have a copyright tag because OpenTutorial needs to track the permissions for storing images here.
- My image is missing a copyright tag, or has {{no license}}.
- What you need to do is go to the image page (just click the image wherever you inserted it), edit the page, and add a correct tag. For example, if the image is a work of the US government, add:
{{Pd-usgov}}
Copyright and licensing
Public domain

{{Pd}} | This image has been (or is hereby) released into the public domain by its creator. This applies worldwide. | ||
{{Pd-self}} |

This image has been (or is hereby) released into the public domain by its creator, UserNameHere. This applies worldwide. | ||
{{Pd-old}} |

{{Pd-us}} |

These are for public domain images. There is a {{Pd}} tag, but consider using one of the more-specific tags.

{{Gfdl-self}} | Template:Gfdl-self |
{{Gfdl-1.1-plus}} | Template:Gfdl 1.1 |
Some images use the same GNU Free Documentation License as Wikibooks. These tags are available, they all add image to Category:Gfdl images:
- {{Gfdl}} for GFDL 1.2 and later
- {{Gfdl-self}} if you own the image
- {{Gfdl-1.1-plus}} for GFDL 1.1, 1.2, and later
For an image that is GFDL version 1.2 only, there is a {{Gfdl-1.2}} tag available. This tag does not add the image to any category. Currently, few or no images use this tag. Note that {{Gfdl-1.2}} is incompatible with most GFDL licenses because it does not allow use under future versions of the GFDL.
Generally we don't reccomend use of GFDL for images because using them requires showing whole text of the license. As open-content project we want all images to be freely available and we reccomend Creative Commons licenses for images instead (or dual-licensing your work).
