re: .png below:
- chaucer image from the meta-wikipedia.
- I reuploaded this as a .png; it was a .gif with an incorrect extension. I also dropped it to 18 colors, the # actually being used, to make the file smaller. I don't know who uploaded it to meta; I moved it over in Nov. 2002 as a result of no longer displaying off-site images as a result of the goatse vandal. Koyaanis Qatsi 18:16 14 Jun 2003 (UTC)

This applies to Australia, the European Union and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years.
 You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years, Russia has 74 years for some authors.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain, and that claims to the contrary represent an assault on the very concept of a public domain". For details, see Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain. Please be aware that depending on local laws, re-use of this content may be prohibited or restricted in your jurisdiction. See Commons:Reuse of PD-Art photographs.
