No known restrictions on publication. This image is in the public domain so that it can be used in Wikipedia without requiring a link to it. The original source is File:Pedro_Reinel_1504.jpg, which is in the public domain. I created this image semiautomatically from File:Compass rose pale.svg, but the image I created is such a simple derivative of the original source that it is not copyrightable even if File:Compass rose pale.svg is copyrightable.
According to User:Fasach Nua on the English Wikipedia, as a derivative work the license on this should be changed to GFDL and CC, see here. I have changed the license from the original {{PD-self}} to {{GFDL|migration=relicense}} as File:Compass rose pale.svg uses that license. Ruhrfisch (talk) 12:08, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
