[Wiki Loves Monuments] copyright

[Raul Kern]

In Estonian Wikipedia we have a copyright exemption
(http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Licensing_policy) for
photos of buildings, statues etc., whose authors have not died
recently (70 years after death hasen't passed yet).
These photos are tagged with http://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mall:KunstiteoseFoto.

And these photos can't be uploaded to Commons, because of no Freedom
of Panorama in Estonian Copyright Law:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:FOP#Estonia.

So some photos of monuments will be ok for Estonian Wikipedia, but not
ok for Wikimedia Commons.
