Not so certain about this being in PD. Everett Kinstler never was a white hous employee EvilFreD overleg 05:33, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
- When a Official Presidential Portrait is made, the painter doesn't create it at random but is asked by the incumbent president himself before the end of his term. So technically the painter is working for the White House at that time. --ATX-NL (talk) 11:26, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
- The uploader used for the license the Template:PD-USGov-POTUS. This template contains the following text: "This image is a work of an employee of the Executive Office of the President of the United States, taken or made as part of that person's official duties. As a work of the U.S. federal government, the image is in the public domain." More about that can be read here: "A “work of the United States Government” is a work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person’s official duties." It is clear the uploader used an incorrect license since the painter was not an employee of the Executive Office of the President of the United States; it looks like he was not even an officer or employee of the United States Government. - Robotje (talk) 10:00, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
Deleted: The creator must be a federal employee for PD-USGov to apply. The rights remain with the author. Slim chance this qualifies for {{PD-US-no notice}} but you would have to prove it was published (in the US sense) before 1978 without a copyright notice. Can't assume that. –moogsi (blah) 04:44, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
