:::May be if we fix those licenses so they answer more questions than they raise, Than the "bunch of amateurs at Wikipedia" would not be rediscovering the same inconsistencies. Andy if you read the initial post, the whole discussion started at strange PD license (not using a template) that '''requires''' attribution. Since bunch of files use it I moved the content of it to {{tl|PD-FLGov-PhotoColl}} and then we found {{tl|Image from the Florida Photographic Collection}} which seems to be related. It would be nice if we could reconcile those two templates, and possibly merge them. --[[User:Jarekt|Jarekt]] ([[User talk:Jarekt|talk]]) 03:24, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

::I agree it's not a PD license -- it does require attribution. I would presume they would make the conditions clear to anyone who wanted to donate photos. A good many of them are probably PD-FLGov before they get there but probably not all of them are, so PD-FLGov should only be an additional tag if we know the author is from one of the Florida departments which is not allowed to keep the copyright. But I don't see a serious issue in regards to this being a valid tag; I don't see why we can't take their permission on its face.
