The database reflects what's a monument, not what the copyright status is of a monument.

It feels like you just don't want to get it through. Anyway, if those monuments stay in the DB, it may lead to copyright violations. There was not a request about tagging monuments in DB, there was a request not to include some monuments in DB.

It's not the same as 'tagging monuments in DB', is it?

So basically what Paul wants is that these copyrighted monuments don't show up in the tools. A possible workaround is to remove them temporarily from the database, a nicer way would be to add an extra field 'copyright status' or something, and not to display those monuments in the tools.

It seems to me that https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38462 is half the solution.
