My belief is that it has none, as it is in common 'ownership' - the people of lancashire own it but that is not to say that (say) a Tyke could not show it. That it has been registered by a body (FORL) who represent the whole of Lancashireniot just the Friends organisation, says that it has no true owner and therefore nobody can claim copyright. It was registered for the common good. As somebody once said of a park in Oldham - "Tha'rt an Owdhamer - it's thine" .You won't have seen the yellow before because that part of it is new to differentiate it from white, which was pre-claimed by the folk of a Scottish county before we could object. Incifdentally, Tykes have a white rose and it is placed with the centre leaf 'upside down' compared with ours.Awkward buggers.
