David, I asked a bout a specific image, and pointed out specific major reconstructions on it. You don't seem to have even looked, or bothered to have read what my question was, as such, you aren't helping.
I did, but to read you is not to agree with you. To repeat myself:
1. If it's a new work, you might be able to claim US copyright on the new work as that. If it's a reconstruction, you don't get copyright. This is pretty firmly established. 2. You don't clearly have or not have a new copyright in the UK. 3. If you think you do, discussion on a mailing list isn't going to make it stick. You would need actual legal proceedings to even start to do that. 4. You want Commons to label the item with your UK copyright claim, despite its lack of visible support. 5. You think you can work out a reason in Commons rules why your view should prevail, but so far no-one's inspired to lift a finger to help you.
As far as I can tell, all of these are true and apposite. Any important details I've missed there?
