From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection
The image namespace contains images and the pages describing them. These include the copyright tags. Each image must have a copyright tag because Wikibooks needs to track the permissions for storing images here.
- My image is missing a copyright tag, or has {{no license}}.
- What you need to do is go to the image page (just click the image wherever you inserted it), edit the page, and add a correct tag. For example, if the image is a work of the US government, add: {{PD-USGov}}. For screenshots, give the screenshot the same license as the program itself has. For your own work we recommend that you duel-license your work.
