2. There are many pictures available for eminent leaders, and many of them are photographed before 1951, but the source is not available and so is the date of issue. So, I was wondering if I can draw them by hand, scan and using tool make little correction so that they won't violate the copyright. Please suggest me if you have any better idea. I desperately want to see the profile of the prominent people with their pictures. And how about uploading pictures in Flikr? I have seen many pictures uploaded in Commons have the Flikr link, and they are marked as Copyrighted in Flikr (By the same author, I am confused, if it is in public domain or copyrighted) A> If there is ANY proof at all that they were Pre-1951, then it is fine. B> The date doesn't matter if it is NOT Government property. It depends on the photographer. Whether she/he released it under PD, or not. -- Regards, Srikanth.
