This template must be placed in the Licensing section of non-free posters to identify them as such. Note: Posters with US copyrights before 1964 are mostly in the public domain due to failure to formally renew the copyright on the poster. In this case the template {{PD-art|PD-US-not renewed}} should be used instead of this template. See Copyright renewal.
