What is this template for?

[edit]

It needs some instructions as it seems to be getting applied to a rather random selection of images. As best as I can figure out, it is for images which were created somewhere other than the US prior to 1923 (and thus are public domain in the US, but may not be elsewhere). Is that accurate?
