Commons:Nevhodné zdroje

Shortcut: COM:BAD

Toto je seznam takzvaných nevhodných zdrojů obsahu, které se sice mohou na první pohled zdát pro Commons přínosné, ale po bližším prozkoumání tomu tak není. Soubory pocházející ze zde uvedených zdrojů by měly být označeny šablonami {{subst:nld}} („bez licence“) nebo {{subst:npd}} („bez povolení“). Takto označené soubory se automaticky zařadí do příslušné podkategorie Category:Unknown.

Seznam nevhodných zdrojů

Alchetron

Alchetron využívá články z Wikipedie, ke kterým přidává ilustrační obrázky, které si bere napříč internetem. Tyto obrázky jsou zpravidla autorsky chráněné, a navíc často špatně popsané. V zápatí každé stránky je zmínka o licenci "CC BY-SA", to se ale týká jen obsahu převzatého z Wikipedie, ne obrázků. Rozkliknutím obrázku se dostanete na odkaz ke "zdroji obrázku", což ale není nic jiného, než přímý odkaz na samotný obrázek v původním umístění.

Beeld en Geluid wiki

Udávají licenci {{Cc-by-sa-3.0-nl}} u snímků obrazovky, ke kterým nevlastní autorská práva.

Flags of the World

Pravidla autorských práv tohoto serveru obsahují několik nepřijatelných omezení:

• ...používejte materiály pouze pro nekomerční a nepolitické účely.

• pokud budete naše materiály šířit jinou cestou než po internetu (například diskety nebo CD-ROMy), nesmíte tyto fyzické nosiče prodávat

• při využívání nesmíte použít více než 5 % obrázků z celkového počtu na našich stránkách

• nesmíte upravovat obrázky nebo kontext jejich popisků

Nenahrávejte tedy na Commons žádné obrázky z tohoto serveru - ledaže byste měli pádný důvod (příklad).

Freepik.com

• Freepik
• Flaticon
• Storyset

At first sight uploading on Commons seems to be OK: the sites mention "Free license", "Attribution is required", "allowed for use on commercial and personal projects, for an unlimited number of times and without any time limits, anywhere of the world". But that is misleading. It turns out that in the Terms of use "commercial" and "use" are very severely restricted, not OK for Commons. See the Village pump discussions Is pngrepo.com credible and Freepik images.

Fotodatenbank.com

Podmínky použití [1] jsou omezující:

• Obrázky nesmějí být poskytovány ke stažení [jinde] na internetu. (v původním německém znění: "Die Bilder dürfen nicht im Internet zum Download angeboten werden.")

• Obrázky nesmějí být použity v [jiných] kolekcích obrázků. (německy: "Die Bilder dürfen nicht in Bildersammlungen einverleibt werden.")

Podobných podmínek je tam víc, ale tyto dvě stačí, aby bylo jasné, že tato stránka není vhodným zdrojem obrázků.

GM Media Online

Přestože uvádějí, že své obrázky licencují podle licence Creative Commons Attribution, samotné stránky uvádějí několik dalších omezení použití, například:

Je zakázáno používat tyto obrázky pro účely reklamy, inzerce nebo jakékoli jiné komerční účely. Obrázky je možno ořezat (jiné úpravy povoleny nejsou), přičemž vždy musí zůstat zachován nápis "© GM Corp."

Navzdory tomu, že se na svých stránkách [2] odkazují na text svobodné licence, jejich úmyslem je zjevně povolit pouze nekomerční a bezzásahovou licenci, což na Commons není přípustné. To, jestli svým odkazem na licenci CC-BY sami zneplatňují své výslovné licenční podmínky, je choulostivá právní otázka, kterou se nemáme v úmyslu zabývat. I kdyby finální verdikt vyzníval v náš prospěch, z morálního hlediska se sluší respektovat úmysly držitele licenčních práv, nikoli se snažit je přebít využitím jeho právních slabin.

(Sluší se podotknout, že v rámci GM media existují i stránky jako tato videoprezentace Chevrolet Austria, kde je zmíněna licence "© Creative Commons Attribution 3.0", ale odkazována licence CC-BY-NC 3.0.)

IMFDB

While the site ( http://imfdb.org ) clearly has an overall wiki-inspired design and mechanics that leads many to believe it conforms to the same GFDL or CC BY-SA or free content licensing as Commons, that is NOT the case in reality. The problem is twofold:

1. The photos taken by the site's admin (MPM2008) are certainly not freely licensed, and this author is known to go to great length to protect his copyrights. Also, it should be noted that not all of his photos carry any watermark and/or any copyright notice. These are certainly not suitable for Commons.
2. On the other hand, the site's admins are very lax concerning other people's copyrights-while some files ARE really PD or freely licensed, most (excluding MPM2008's works) are grabbed from random sources (like press images or similar) and in most cases WITHOUT any attribution. It is also a common practice there to overwrite PD or freely licensed files with NON-free files of larger resolution while leaving the former file's attribution notice intact, causing users to believe the new file is also free, when in fact that is not the case...

Either way, these files seem 100% unsuitable for uploading here.

Morguefile.com

This site's license prohibits selling, licensing, sublicensing, renting, transfering or distributing of images without alterations. But modified images are free (including using for commercial purposes and using without attributing the original author). However, there is no information, if the license is revocable.

Mynewsdesk.com

• Mynewsdesk.com is a site for marketers and promotional uploaders. Its default license is a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, but this is not adequately understood by their uploaders, who frequently post images for which they do not own the rights to release under the Creative Commons license. Consensus is to avoid using the site.

Nizozemské Ministerstvo obrany

Per Commons:Deletion requests/Incorrect PD Netherlands (government works), commercial usage of the images at this site is not allowed. Therefore, though they may seem to be allowable here as government work, they do not fall within Commons scope per COM:SCOPE: Non-allowable licence terms.

Official PSD

"A community of graphic artists creating and sharing free raw image files!" - that's the slogan. The website is intended as non-commercial but they also allow for CC BY licensing. Regrettably they take their slogan's "creating" with a grain of salt. For example, Vince-Carter-Magic-PSD32033 (and all images shown as related images) are taken from elsewhere, published on other websites. The EXIF of this image states "Copyright Notice: Copyright 2009 NBAE (Photo by Fernando Medina/NBAE via Getty Images)". linksearch

Pexels.com

Photos and videos on Pexels are mostly published under the Pexels Licence which applies non-commercial (NC) restrictions. It also states "Don't redistribute or sell the photos and videos on other stock photo or wallpaper platforms". Therefore Pexels media are ineligible for use on Commons. The Pexels Terms of Service do state that some images were published under a {{Cc-0}} licence — such images would be allowed on Commons, but apparently this only applied to images that were published on Pexels prior to 4 July 2018.

Photobucket.com

Appears to consist mostly of uploads by people who do not have the authority to license the copyrights in them, or release the content into the public domain. The website also does not retain good sourcing metadata. Clause 6.1 of the Terms of Use Agreement (last reviewed on 13 June 2011) allows uploaders to mark their files as private or to delete them, which is declared to have the effect of terminating the license for reuse of the files by other people.

Pixelquelle.de

As with fotodatenbank.com, the usage conditions [3] are restrictive:

• Images can be used (...) excluding collections of images or similar where PixelQuelle.de images can be downloaded or bought. (original: (...) "Ausgeschlossen hiervon sind Bilddatenbanken, Bildkataloge oder ähnliche, bei denen PixelQuelle.de Fotos zum Download oder Verkauf angeboten werden.")

Publico.es

They use (for their own work) the CC BY-NC-ND licence (neither commercial use nor derivative works), which is not compatible with Wikimedia Commons.

skyscrapercity.com

Skyscrapercity (sometimes referred to as SSC) is a forum to which users upload images (often original content, sometimes copyright violations from Flickr etc). No free licensing is required for uploads, so unless compatible licensing is explicitly declared in the forum, or the image is public domain due to age, a VRT email from the copyright holder is required.

Stock.Xchng

See also Commons:Stock.xchng images

Images sourced from Stock.xchng (sxc.hu) are not allowed on Wikimedia Commons, unless they are explicitly licensed under a free license. Preferably those permissions are recorded in VRTS. All Stock.xchng image that have not been independently released under a free license are subject to speedy deletion since July 1, 2007. See Commons:Deletion requests/Template:Sxc-warning and Template:Sxc-warning for more information.

U.S. National Laboratories

Although these are commonly assumed to be projects of the Federal Government of the United States, they are actually operated by government contractors and reserve copyrights on their works and may have different terms which might be incompatible with Commons' licensing policy.

World News

The site claims images are in the PD, even though they are copyrighted. See also Commons:Deletion requests/File:773ER Pakistan.jpg.

World Stadiums

The site claims that you can use any of its images (which are watermarked) as long as references are made to their site.[7] It also does not explicitly allow free modifications of the image, which supposedly means no one can remove their watermark. The key point is that none of the pictures hosted on World Stadiums can be determined to be free of copyright. They do not attribute the authors of the pictures. Most of their photos are copyright violations (taken from forums, official sites, scans of magazines and newspapers, etc): cropped and resized copies of copyrighted images. Others are resized versions of images licensed under Creative Commons ShareAlike, but World Stadiums do not attribute the licensors as required by the license.
