Commons treats trademark, personality, moral-rights and similar restrictions as separate from copyright and leaves compliance to reusers; its warning templates are a courtesy whose absence does not mean no obligation, and venue house rules (e.g. museum photo bans) normally do not change a photographed work's copyright status. The CC FAQ likewise says CC licences do not license trademarks.
