Really amazing! So, the monument will have freedom of panorama? ;)

This is very, very cool. :-) I don’t suppose the monument is freely licensed? Can Creative Commons licenses even be applied to monuments?

Thanks, Mike

First, yes it can. A sculptor can give a permission, which would mean that every photo of a monument can be licensed under CC-BY-SA if the photographer wishes. I am sure we had such examples on Commons (they are sent via OTRS).

Cool. :-) It would be great to hear about examples where monuments have been CC-licensed!

Second, as it was noticed already, Poland has freedom of panorama for monuments, and therefore a permission from the sculptor is not even needed.

That’s true, but it’s relying on a copyright exception for a specific country, rather than an internationally valid copyright license, which can be an important distinction e.g., when photographers cross borders between taking and uploading photos. The latter is much better than the former where possible.

Thanks, Mike
