possible copyright issues in regards to us map shape SecretName101 (talk) 23:18, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
- I don't understand. The shape of the continental United States cannot be copyrighted. Spartan7W (talk) 00:49, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
- But illustrations and depictions of it can be. Mapmaking qualifies as "sweat of the brow", thus is copyrightable.

See Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter#Maps & satellite imagery for more about how maps CAN be copyrighted. SecretName101 (talk) 06:43, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
