This page was subject to a Request for deletion at. The request was closed by the nominator after an actual usage of the file was created, based on a Fair Use claim by the nominator. The nominator edited the page to alter the license information.

The original claim (claims are at least partly substituted to show what existed in the templates as of today, these may be changing: (added) Category:Public domain images

The original upload commentary was explicit that User:Alauc, the uploader, is Ante Lauc, a co-author of the original work.

The new claim is

added Category:Fair use images

This is inaccurate. This is not a "paper," it is a 485-page book, published in 1977 without any claim of copyright, in Yugoslavia, by a Yugoslav university. Such publication would likely place the entire book in the public domain, and release into the public domain was claimed by the uploader.

It was not first published on Scribd.

The uploader did not claim fair use. The link in the template is not to Wikiversity policy, but to the Foundation licensing resolution.

It is true that Ante Lauc published this elsewhere under a noncommercial license. It is this other later publication (later than the original) which could create, on Commons, an OTRS investigation. Here one of the authors explicitly released the page under PD-self. The original book, from the full scan we have here, has no copyright claim at all.

We do have an OTRS page: OTRS. It is radically obsolete, and no user mentioned there is active. It refers to Copyright issues, which completely neglects the possibility of any non-free usage. That page links to Copyright which similarly neglects allowed non-free usage.

Regardless, if the file is PD, we can use it unconditionally, and if it is Fair Use or other Non-free permitted use, we can use it, under certain conditions, unless something else can be found that is clearly and fully free without question. I am leaving this comment for the future. Had this file been deleted, the release into the public domain, certainly by the author, would be hidden. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 20:57, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
