Summary[edit]

Licensing[edit]

Object

The depicted Philippine architecture, 3D public art, or other freedom of panorama (FoP)-reliant work is in public domain because: it is an architectural work completed prior to 15 December 1972; it is a sculpture, monument, or other artistic work created before 15 December 1972 and was not registered, or an artistic work created before 1942 and which its copyright was not renewed; and/or it is an architecture completed on or after 15 December 1972 or an another type of artistic work not meeting the second criterion, whose author or last-surviving author (e.g. the architect or sculptor) has been deceased for 50 years or more (therefore its copyright protection expired). See Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Philippines#Public domain exceptions for FoP-reliant works for more information. Images of copyrighted architecture and public art are normally not allowed on Wikimedia Commons, unless there is an applicable freedom of panorama (FoP) in the works' country of origin. However, there is no such exception in Republic Act No. 8293 (The Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines), see Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Philippines#Freedom of panorama for more information.

Attention

The chancery building (1940) falls under the public domain for architecture in the Philippines, not public domain for architecture in the United States: extraterritoriality doesn't trump and override copyright laws worldwide, just as Catholic church's canon laws on property doesn't trump and override civil laws on copyright. See also the following cases from no-FOP countries Commons:Deletion requests/File:Japanese embassy in Iceland.JPG and Commons:Deletion requests/File:Australian Embassy in Paris.jpg. Note that the Philippines has no freedom of panorama for any recent works of architecture and public art still under copyright protection.
