Imagine you come across an image on social media and you realize it would fit very well on Wikimedia Commons.

00:00:08.161 --> 00:00:11.076
But it has been shared so much that all metadata is lost

00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:15.852
and you don't know who created it nor what its copyright status is.

00:00:16.382 --> 00:00:19.102
But, in this imaginary timeline,

00:00:19.168 --> 00:00:22.757
you also know that Wikimedia Commons has a connection to CommonsDB

00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:23.818
which might help you.

00:00:24.614 --> 00:00:27.537
So you start your upload in the UploadWizard as usual

00:00:27.803 --> 00:00:32.251
and a perceptual hash is generated and compared with the CommonsDB registry.

00:00:33.112 --> 00:00:39.223
Lo and behold, you see that Europeana has this image with a Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike license.

00:00:40.020 --> 00:00:43.207
You can verify the image by going directly to Europeana.

00:00:43.739 --> 00:00:47.000
They seem to have the original image that is not rainbow colored

00:00:47.137 --> 00:00:49.991
but since you see it has a CC BY-SA license

00:00:50.178 --> 00:00:51.974
you can go ahead with the upload.

00:00:52.503 --> 00:00:55.959
With one click you copy the license over to the next step

00:00:58.347 --> 00:01:02.596
and paste it in the "other" field and verify that it looks correct.
