License in Gallery view does not account for multiple (and sometime conflicting) licenses e.g. {{Licensed-PD-Art}} or {{Licensed-PD}}
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

If a file has multiple conflicting licenses (such as a licensed piece of art), the gallery may display only th eleast restrictive licnse, no matter if that license is applied only to the object 8artwork) or the digital reproduction. Sometimes an artist may relase their artwork under a license, but a photographer of that artwok can claim copyright of the photo (WMF has some opinions about faithful reproductions of 2D-works, but assuming that does not apply, such as with artworks with frames, or 3d objects such as the example below), this causes the app to not dispaly correct license information.

We could map common "license templates" such as {{Licensed-PD-Art}} or {{Licensed-PD}} in order to draw some metadata from them somehow, on how licenses are applied, until SDC General is a thing.

(As a sub-thing, we should also provde more licenses than one if multi-licensed)

We could map common "license templates" such as {{Licensed-PD-Art}} or {{Licensed-PD}} in order to draw some metadata from them somehow, on how licenses are applied, until Structured-Multimedia-Data is a thing.

Does such a map exist or would we have to create it? Would you or someone from the Commons community be able to create such a map or would it need to come from an RFC or wiki discussion?

Same thing with MediaViewer. I'm guessing you hshare some repository code or something.., so adding them to this task.

Don't think it exists, since MediaViewer also have this issue...

Sounds related to (if not a duplicate of) T89692.

Indeed, it's a consequence of that issue (which is stalled due to lack of community interest).

LGoto claimed this task.
