This is all based on some persistant users
alleged
comprehension of German jurisdiction where
(according
to the users) "sweat of the brow" is
required to
render something copyrightable.

Just the opposite I believe. Merely having created
something ("sweat of the
brow") is enough in the UK, but does not suffice in
Germany.

You're right. This misunderstanding was pointed out to
me later. "Sweat of the brow" is not applied in
Germany, it is other countries such as the U.K. that
make use of it.
Correct. But many logos do not get what germans call "Schöpfungshöhe"
by law. There is nothing like it in other countries. So it is stupid
trying to translate it even though the german article links on
[[threshold of originality]] which IMHO is not the same.
I to explain with an example. I take a photograph devide it into x
squares so that I can get the exact proportions on the canvas and make
a raw sketch with a felt tip. Then I just fill the colors with oil
paint. That is hard but dull work involving no creativaty whatsoever.
Therefore no "Schöpfungshöhe" is involved. Same for scribble scatches
that have their origin during a phone call with the mother in law.
The German thinking is explained in
Template:Logo-Germany (
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Logo-Germany
). The template was however created only a few days
ago, and is now listed for deletion.
WTF! Why has it not been speedy deleted? It is commons policy not to
have logos. Now we need to explain why in a deletion process? They may
have discussion first and then create such a stupid template. The
other way round it is totally ignoring policies that have been
accepted by a brought community for years. What has happened to
commons?
