I need to look at these photos to be sure it is
true.
Well - regarding the pictures which were assumed to be copyvio due to
no freedom of panorama in Ukraine and showing buildings made by
Polish
architects before II World War - the case is not that obvious and
IMHO
should be carefully discussed - maybe even with help of professional
lawyer.
I don't know anythingh about current Ukrainian law - but if we assume
that
a) Lviv was Polish before II world war
b) the architect was Polish citizen
The applicable copyrigh work for plans of builiding is rather Polish
than Ukrainian.
Acutally the bulidings are on Ukrainian soil - but the copyright is
not about physical objects but about the creative work of architect,
so in fact it doesn't matter where the physical object is actually
located to decide which law is applicable.
I think it is most likely that the Ukrainian law applies here and the
buildings are not free - on the other hand, ALL FoP-related deletions on
Commons have to go through AfD. Speedy deletions of FoP cases are not
appropriate - because there are legal issues involved, there are de
minimis arguments, and speedy deletion is not an appropriate avenue to
address them.
