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.
Usage edit
Simply insert this template into the Licensing section of an image description page. It should look like this:
==Licensing==
{{Non-free poster}}
Doing so will alternatively put the image into Non-free posters category. However, you have the option of putting the image into one of the appropriate sub-categories such as Non-free images of event posters, Non-free images of film posters, Animated film posters, Non-free images of television program posters, Non-free images of theatre posters, etc. To so, simply pass the name of the category as the first unnamed parameter. The following example puts the image into Non-free images of movie posters:
==Licensing==
{{Non-free poster|Non-free images of film posters}}
Make sure you preview your edit and verify the result.
This template is able to make use of category redirects, so
{{Non-free poster|Non-free images of movie posters}}
will resolve to Category:Non-free images of film posters.
