Summary

Licensing

The photographic reproduction of this work is covered under United Kingdom law (Section 62 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988), which states that it is not an infringement to take photographs of buildings, or of sculptures, models for buildings, or works of artistic craftsmanship permanently located in a public place or in premises open to the public. This does not apply to two-dimensional graphic works such as posters or murals. See COM:CRT/United Kingdom#Freedom of panorama for more information. العربية ∙ Deutsch ∙ English ∙ español ∙ français ∙ 日本語 ∙ 한국어 ∙ македонски ∙ Nederlands ∙ português ∙ português do Brasil ∙ 简体中文 ∙ 繁體中文 ∙ +/−

The UK Copyright Designs and Patents Act (1988) states

" 62.—(1) This section applies to— (a) buildings, and (b) sculptures, models for buildings and works of artistic craftsmanship, if permanently situated in a public place or in premises open to the public.

(2) The copyright in such a work is not infringed by— (a) making a graphic work representing it, (b) making a photograph or film of it, or (c) broadcasting or including in a cable programme service a visual image of it. (3) Nor is the copyright infringed by the issue to the public of copies, or the broadcasting or inclusion in a cable programme service, of anything whose making was, by virtue of this section, not an infringement of the copyright."

Since this mosiac is clearly either a building or a sculpture or a work of artistic craftsmanship, and is definitely permanently situated in a public place, UK law seems to allow me to photograph it and publish the photograph without infringing the artist's copyright. So, I release this image under the GFDL:
