Licensing derivatives: If you are creating a substantially new work using the file (" derivative work") and the file's license requires you to license derivatives in a certain way, be sure you comply with this. If you tag the work with its origin (where you got it and where it came from originally) and the name of the creator, this can help us if a dispute with such a publisher arises later. This may be legal, but it does not affect the public domain status of the original work. Note: it is common for publishers to take public domain works and republish them under their own copyright.If you decide to reuse files from Commons, you should verify the copyright status of each image just as you would when obtaining images from other sources. While the copyright and licensing information supplied for each image is believed to be accurate, the Wikimedia Foundation does not provide any warranty regarding the copyright status or correctness of licensing terms. Otherwise, you'll have to use a different file. If none of the licenses suits you, you can try to contact the creator and negotiate a special arrangement. If the file is available under multiple licenses, you can use any of them.For example, if the license requires derivative works to carry the same license (Creative Commons licenses call this "ShareAlike"), that may not suit you.
