| Permission (Reusing this file) |
Photos published by the Associated Press in a newspaper from 1963 to 1978 if there’s no copyright license, which is in the form of a mark. This newspaper was made before 1978 and has no copyright mark, therefore falling in the public domain as the Copyright Act of 1976 didn’t fall into effect until 1978. See this discussion for more information. |

Licensing
This file is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. |
