Here's the list of image license templates.
 
== Fair usedealing ==
This is the "license" that is used for any image that is used in a way that qualifies as fair usedealing under USUK law. Screen captures, card or magazine scans, images of text that's still under copyright - if somebody owns the copyright to the image, then use one of these.
 
If the copyright holder gave permission without giving All The Tropes a free license:
:{{tl|Permission}}
 
If the copyright holder gave permission and gave All The Tropes a free license, then skip down to "Creative Commons" and "Other Free Licenses", and use the matching license from those sections.
 
If the artist died more than fifty years ago (which puts the work into the Public Domain in Canada) but less that seventy years ago:
:<nowiki>{{SemiPD|####}}</nowiki>
:You '''''must''''' replace #### with the year that the work goes into the public domain in the USA, which is the year of the January 1 after the seventieth anniversary of the artist's death.
 
Otherwise:
:{{tl|FairuseFair dealing}} -- ''this is the most common license template on the wiki''
 
== Own image ==
You made the image yourself. Taking some "fair use" images and making a collage of them (or a [[demotivator]], or a meme poster, or anything else) doesn't fall under this license; that's still "fair use". This is for things you drew, photographed, or painted yourself, or created in Blender, Daz Studio, Poser or similar software using only your own resources and resources that are licensed for royalty-free use in images.
 
:{{tl|Self}}
Line 42 ⟶ 48:
Assemble the license using the abbreviations:
* "CC" means Creative Commons, and always comes first.
* "BY" means Attribution. Please make sure you list who made the image! (The page you downloaded it from should say; if it doesn't, then cite the page that you downloaded the image from. If you made the image yourself, please tell us how you want to be credited.)
* "SA" means "Share Alike" - if it's in the license that you're reading, the entire license ''must'' be the same as the license that you're reading.
* "NC" means NonCommercial.
* "ND" menasmeans "NoDerivsNo Derivatives" - you are not allowed to change the image, not even as much as cropping or re-sizing it, or use it as part of another image. NeedlessBecause toof [https://creativecommons.org/faq/#can-i-combine-material-under-different-creative-commons-licenses-in-my-work license incompatibilities between "ND" licenses and other Creative Commons saylicenses], we aren't'must'' fondtreat ofimages with "ND" licenses as Fair use, with all of the caveats that this hereimplies.
* Finally, the version number of the license. We don't have separate templates for all license versions, but we do have a large number of them.
 
Putting those elements together gives these templates. They're case-sensitive - sorry about them not being consistent, but that's what happens when multiple people create license templates.
* {{tl|ccCC-byBY-1.0}}
* {{tl|cc-by-2.5}}
* {{tl|CC-BY}} - ''for any version of BY that isn't listed above''
Line 58 ⟶ 64:
* {{tl|CC-BY-SA 4.0}}
* {{tl|CC-BY-SA}} - ''for any version of BY-SA that isn't listed above''
* {{tl|CC-BY-NC-2.0}}
* {{tl|CC-BY-NC-2.5}}
* {{tl|CC-BY-NC-3.0}}
Line 66 ⟶ 73:
 
One special CC license is CC0, which in most countries is functionally equivalent to Public Domain. (It is not legally exactly the same as Public Domain, so don't use one where you should use the other.)
 
Just like the public domain license, please read ''all'' of [[w:Public domain|Wikipedia's page about public domain]] before you use this.

Line 71 ⟶ 81:
The licenses listed above cover over 90% of the cases that most people will discover... but not 100% of the cases.
