[Edit...]
Each file needs to be checked for public domain status. Only tag if everything is done to identify the file.
See also IMSLP:Copyright Reviewers, Public Domain. Please tag the Copyright Status as follows:
- Unknown: Unreviewed
- Non-PD: copyrighted, or doubtful public domain status.
- Year: The year in which the item enters the public domain. Note: as long as the current copyright system is in place, use Life+50 for Canada, even if the Life+70 term applies; the system will not automatically release any file when the year in the "Canada" field is 2023 or later.
- If the work is already public domain, please use one of the public domain tags.
- PD/Checked: Probably Public Domain (ex. from second-hand information), but the publication is not precisely identified.
- This category contains also files submitted before implementation of the copyright status tag
- PD/Verified: Publication is identified and in public domain.
- This tag can be applied only if there is proof of public domain status!!
- Urtext: Select this only if the copyright status entered is dependent on a lack of original copyrightable material. (Additionally, for the US field, only select this if the underlying work is already in the public domain.)
- Permission Granted: an explicit license is granted in line with the licensing policy.
