No source to support that this would be the official seal. File in anywhere on the web except for government websites. Unknown copyright situation. Jcb (talk) 23:06, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
Keep Clearly this is the seal of the VP, and such works are exempt from US copyright law. Fry1989 eh? 01:31, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
- Please provide a source for your statement to support that this "is" the real seal. Just saying it is not helpful. Jcb (talk) 17:03, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
- You need to be more clear about what you're saying. I think what you mean is whether or not this is an official government production as opposed to a private drawing. But either way, it is the "real" seal, you only need to look at File:US Vice President Seal.svg to see that they're essentially the same image, artistic differences aside. As for who produced the drawing, that does not matter, because government seals like this can not be copyrighted in the United States, they are exempt. Fry1989 eh?
- "artistic differences" are copyrightable. If this version of the seal is a private drawing, then the PD license does not apply and permission from this private person will be needed. Jcb (talk) 18:39, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
- I find that a real stretch. There is no reason to doubt the origin of the image imo. Fry1989 eh? 19:21, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
- I have been unable to find this version of the seal on any government website, which is enough reason to doubt. Jcb (talk) 22:01, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Delete Copyright is OK, but why do we need a small JPEG when we have a SVG? This looks a duplicate, so out of scope. Yann (talk) 15:10, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
Deleted: As out of scope but not because there is a copyright concern. --Natuur12 (talk) 16:29, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
