GeoJSON under OGL3.0

Hello team I have identified a couple of datasets (GeoJSON in particular) that are currently under a Open Government Licence 3.0. These are from NatureScot and Scottish Government (SIMD datazones). Am I (as an editor) permitted to bulk upload these GeoJSON files using OpenRefine? Or would I need to contact the copyright holders first? I am then hoping to connect the data to the relevant Wikidata items for each datazone. Many thanks in advance for the assistance and advice. Drkirstyross (talk) 11:19, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello. The question is not really in scope of this page. Are the datasets really under OGL-3.0, and is that publicly documented? If yes, then you likely can use it. If it's different, then it depends on the situation. Please see: Commons:Village pump/Copyright Krd 10:31, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Ticket:2011040810014308

Does this ticket genuinely release all of the content in the screenshot at File:RawStoryScreenshot2011.jpg under a CC-BY licence, including the main story image of Gov Scott Walker (which is an AP press photo) and the prominent banner adverts for Smiley Central and 1-800-PACK-RAT? Belbury (talk) 10:06, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

It has not been explicitly said. I'd say the ticket should be reopened, and the file should be deleted if no additional information can be obtained. Krd 18:10, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Ticket reopened. --Krd 04:59, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

File:National Bibliothek Lettlands 1.jpg

Hello. Is the VRTS permission here coming from the heir of the architect (who died in 2017), or from photographer only? See also Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:National Library of Latvia. Regards, JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 02:02, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Permission is from the heir of the architect. Krd 16:27, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
