The image does not consist of "information" that is entirely common property. While it's true that it is a standard keyboard layout, it's still a manually produced image that did take some effort to produce. What this is suggesting is that if I manually drew a QWERTY keyboard layout, that said image couldn't be copyrighted. I've seen variations of this type of image, all of which appear to be manually created (though with obvious inspiration from other images). If it weren't copyrightable, I don't think they'd all be recreating the same, dull and boring image over and over. Nathan J. Yoder 01:47, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
Are you absolutely sure that this image is under copyright? I figure that the main reason that Stenograph® uses that an image like that is that it is the shape of the keys on their machines. How would I represent this information in another way? —Andrew
I reuploaded it in my own design. It has rectangular keys and uses the Courier font. Is it acceptable yet, you think? —Andrew 12:23 p.m., 6 August 2005 (CST)
- That should work fine, just remember to update the template to reflect that you yourself made it. Nathan J. Yoder 01:28, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
