Image rights and evidence limits
National Library of Norway’s own Flickr Commons image declared no known copyright restrictions; institutional upload reviewed 25 July 2015 by Commons FlickreviewR. This clears only the separately released photograph, not the restored film, soundtrack or website preview. Full-file EXIF includes legacy digitization metadata (Interfoto/Firma), but institutional Flickr declaration and Commons reviewed status are no known copyright restrictions; no CC BY or CC0 licence is asserted.
Image existence does not prove a linked claim. Consult image-specific captions and reuse conditions.
