Ping :-)
It's been over a month, does anyone know if the Tullie House Museum
has removed the misleading copyright notices?
If there has been no contact yet, I'd be happy to send off a letter as
a long term Wikimedia Commons volunteer to the BM and the THM for an
official response that I can add to the record on Commons.
Thanks,
Fae

Hi Fae, Andy, and all
I agree that trying to apply copyright to a 2000 year old item is pretty
outrageous, although I'm going to suppose that it stems from ignorance
rather than anything else. We have some contacts at the BM although I'm not
sure about Tullie House Museum, however I'm happy to contact both
institutions, in the first instance, to give them the opportunity to correct
this. I'll let you know how I get on.
Cheers
Lucy

Perhaps, but as Fae indicates, it might also cause some movement.
What's your - WMUK's, I mean - alternative proposed action?
