::::Greentubing does not own the copyright on the flag of the Province of Ontario, and he is thus in no position to release it to the public domain. The question is whether or not flags and symbols of Canada are under copyright, and whether or not the images from which you have created derivative works are under copyright.

There is some information at [[w:en:Wikipedia:Copyright on emblems#Copyright on emblem definitions]] which says in part "Emblems of sub-national entities (states of a union, cantons, districts, counties, townships, etc.) may or may not be defined in an official law, code, or regulation. If they are, they are considered to be in the public domain as statutes, laws, and similar official publications are in general not copyrighted. The U.S. Copyright Office applies this even to edicts of sub-national governments or foreign governments.[19] Emblems of official bodies or sub-national entities not defined in such official publications may be copyrighted." So that's the question that needs to be answered. -- [[User:Diannaa|Diannaa]] ([[User talk:Diannaa|talk]]) 20:08, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
