Hi David, I saw that you uploaded this image back in 2021. The image consists of what looks to be about 200 words of text on a sign; I would expect that to be protected by copyright but perhaps its location on a public sign changes the situation. Does freedom of panorama extend to text in Israel?

@Richard Nevell: This sign post was posted by the Israel Antiquities Authority at the archaeological site in Jerusalem's Old City, known as the "Givati Parking lot".

So signs in public places produced by the IAA are copyright free? Is that documented somewhere? That might be useful to add to somewhere like Commons:Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Israel - though perhaps not the ideal place, I'm not sure where would be better.

It would be better to address your questions regarding this issue to Wikimedia Commons. The legal matters regarding this issue are discussed there.Davidbena (talk) 03:59, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20241009035900","author":"Davidbena","type":"comment","level":4,"id":"c-Davidbena-20241009035900-Richard_Nevell-20241008194100","replies":[]}}-->
