"Where the information is incorporated in documents that are sold (regardless of the medium), the natural or legal person publishing the information must inform buyers, both before they pay any subscription or fee and each time they access the information taken from the ECB's website, that the information may be obtained free of charge through the ECB's website" is a condition incompatible with commons licensing policy. If you wanted to sell a CD with these pictures on it, the seller had to inform the buyer beforehands that he can get these pictures for free on the website referd to. This asks for much more than just an attribution. Similar to the obnoxious BSD advertising clause, this is a condition that renders the license non-free. Besides that, the copyright[1], if read correctly within its broader context, clearly allows only press use and no commercial and derivative use beyond that. Further, the words "for any purpose" were invented by the template creator and cannot be found there; they are subjective, uncritical interpretation of that license. Moreover, I advise that Commons should accept only pictures for which the source web site displays a clear CC license tag (or has an equivalent release boilerplate for a standard, non-home-brew license). --Rtc 05:41, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete - Once again stop that constant campaigning for CC or take it up at the Village Pump! But aside from that the license does indeed look confusing. --Lhademmor 12:31, 25 March 2007 (UTC)- Delete - Per Lhademmor. Rtc, please note that the CC licenses raise as many objections to some, as those "evasion templates" raise objections to you. But further you are right. -- Bryan (talk to me) 16:51, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Comment As long as republication and distribution , publication of derivative work, and commercial use of the work are allowed, a license is compatible with Commons:Licensing. Or am I missing something? Kjetil r 22:48, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think you are missing something. However, sometimes licenses have serious flaws, such as "Where the information is incorporated in documents that are sold (regardless of the medium), the natural or legal person publishing the information must inform buyers, both before they pay any subscription or fee and each time they access the information taken from the ECB's website, that the information may be obtained free of charge through the ECB's website" Such flaws are not fatal; that is, they don't deny the permission in a non-free way. But they do cause practical problems, and can make it very hard exercise a freedom in practice; commercial use here. Therefore, such licenses should be rejected. --Rtc 23:02, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Per nom. We could easily reproduce such images with free licenses. Bibi Saint-Pol (sprechen) 21:25, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Note to above: What makes you think the images can be reproduced? Surely that coins are copyrighted. /Lokal_Profil 22:24, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Done - License states that if you publish the pictures on a DVD which you sell, you must tell the buyer that he can get the picture for free from their website - making the license unfree. Yonatan talk 08:04, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
