If I donate a pile of stuff, or my heirs do, that doesn't mean I took the photos. You nominated en:File:The Original Paganini Quartet.jpg for deletion, rightly, but that came from a private archive. If the BA are only sending stuff that was donated, fair enough, although I'd point out that even that isn't good enough usually.

I can't speak for the others, but the disconnect in policy and practice is rather shocking, IMHO. Have fun and congrats on your successful RfA, Angus McLellan (Talk) 19:42, 17 September 2010 (UTC) Reply The Bundesarchiv would surely be allowed because the copyright holders donated the copyright to it (I think). And if we believe the Bundesarchiv, will we now believe the LOC and the Canadian Archives, who also make claims as to public domainness, and if not, why not? If, after that, you're pondering what I'm pondering when I read it, there's a nice can of big fat worms to be opened. If you're going to be a gadfly - and why not? someone should be - have a look at Commons:Bundesarchiv. I am all in favour of a general discussion.
