Per COM:FOP US, only buildings are protected by FOP—this does not include dioramas, sculptures, and the like. Sculpture could have only been created after the moon landing, so it's young enough to still be copyrighted.

  •  Keep. The diorama was either created by NASA or the Arizona Historical Society. In the former case, it's a public domain US government work. In the latter case, the owner of the sculptural work is the same as the owner of the photograph. Given that the photograph was released under a free license by the presumed copyright holder of the object, there is no issue with the derivative work infringing on the sculptural copyright. Finally, the object is likely in the public domain anyway due to age (probably pre-1978, given the Apollo 11 context), public display, and lack of copyright notice.

Kept: per IronGargoyle. If it's not public domain as a US government work, then it's a work by the Arizona Historical Society who have freely licensed the photograph. --Abzeronow (talk) 21:44, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
