Licensing and Other Things

Hey, where are the licensing templates? - GP talk 09:28, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Oh, also, is this okay? Just used what I had on my computer; Tango's was too small. Are we going for a certain colour? - GP talk 09:29, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Licensing
The license are available in the drop down box on the uploaded page, as pictured to the right. Or, you may look at this related category.
It's fine to upload this. One day, however, I do plan to replace it with something more original. Still, it will do for now. Thank you for uploading it.

What I meant is, they're all content templates, not specifically to indicate licensing. If you look at the file description, you'd see I said it's LGPL: where are generic licenses like fairuse, free and public domain? - GP talk 09:20, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
Not to make myself out to be a noob here, but: What is the difference between content licence templates and generic licence templates? Tacopill (Talk) 06:22, 12 March 2011 (UTC).
The templates in that category indicate the content of the file: in some cases it's always going to be, say, fair use, but in others, the template either assumes the file is copyrighted or gives a list of licenses it might fall under. This is ambiguous and not very flexible: if license is not defined by the content, it should be clearly stated on the description page what the distribution terms of the file are. Take this image: the obvious template, according to its content, is "Wiki File", but that assumes fair use, which is not the case.
Also, what's with the silliness on {{License/Wiki File}}? And {{License/Copyright Nintendo}} is a different style to the others and overlaps with a lot of their use-cases. - GP talk 09:03, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
