Hello all,
Apologies if this has been discussed before (I'm a newbie to the list), but the
Australian users on the "Wikipedia:Australian wikipedians' notice board"
would like to use some images that we will not be able to license under the GFDL or any
other copyleft like license. The reason for this is because Australia does not have any
fairuse legislation, and we require permission for images that are under 50 years old -
even if they are from the Australian government.

My question is: will I be allowed to upload and use them in the
article? I will have to apply a restrictive license.
Well, my understanding was that we didn't really want any image that
wasn't licencable under the same licence as the rest of Wikipedia, but
this is definitely a controversial topic, as another thread on this
list shows.
