Copyright rules
According to WP's French copyright law, the collective and anonymous works are protected for 70 years after the date of publication. According to WP's Japan copyright law, the collective and anonymous works are protected for 50 years after the date of publication, and it seems that the pictures published before 1969 were protected for 10 years only (to be checked).
Quotes from the licensing page at Wikimedia Commons:
"Most important is article 7, which sets the term of duration of the protections granted by the Convention. The Convention sets a minimal term of 50 years after the life of the authors (subject to some exceptions). However, each country is free to set longer terms.
In any case, the term shall be governed by the legislation of the country where protection is claimed; however, unless the legislation of that country otherwise provides, the term shall not exceed the term fixed in the country of origin of the work."
and "For example, if a person in the United Kingdom uploads a picture that has been saved off a French website to the Commons server the upload is covered by UK, French and US copyright law. In order for a photograph to be acceptable for upload to Commons it must be public domain in France, the United Kingdom and the United States, or there must be an acceptable copyright licence for the photograph which covers the UK, US and France."
"US: Anything published before March 1, 1989 with no copyright notice ("©", "Copyright" or "Copr.") plus the year of publication (may be omitted in some cases) plus the copyright owner (or pseudonym) is in the public domain."
"France: if the work is anonymous, pseudonymous or collective, it is 70 years following the publication of the work (unless the authors named themselves)"
"Japan: If the work is anonymous or pseudonymous, the copyright lasts for 50 years after the publication or the death of the author, whichever is the earlier (article 52). The copyrights of the works in names of organizations expire in 50 years after the publication, or in 50 years after the creation if the works are not published within 50 years after the creation (article 53)."
France is the most restrictive, and allows me to publish any unsigned or collective original documentation earlier than 1936. (to be checked)
