Fair use

This image was recently tagged in good faith with {{di-no fair use rationale}}, on the basis that it was a fair use image without a fair use rationale. Since it is a freely licensed image, and not being used on the basis of fair use, I have removed the tag.

This image was originally uploaded with a GFDL license. The problems then arose in October 2011 when the image was erroneously tagged with {{Non-free 3D art}}, perhaps under the mistaken belief that an Underground Railroad memorial would be in the United States or that Windsor is in the United States. Unlike the U.S., photos of statues, monuments, sculptures, etc. in Canada which are permanently situated in a public place are not considered to be derivative works (see Commons:Freedom of panorama for further information).

Unfortunately, no one questioned the Non-free 3D art tag over the subsequent few months, and at one point the error was compounded when the {{Copy to Wikimedia Commons}} was accordingly removed.

I have reverted the image to its pre-October 2011 state, when it was correctly tagged as a freely-licensed GFDL image, and tagged as a candidate for transfer to the Commons. --Skeezix1000 (talk) 15:49, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
