Licensing edit

Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I was recently [User_talk:Gareth_Jones#Non-free_rationale_for_File:James_R_Jackson.png contacted] regarding the licensing of the image. I have updated the licensing image information. It is the first non-free image I have uploaded to Wikipedia so would appreciate a second opinion on what I have written. I added the following text to the licensing section:

This work is copyrighted (or assumed to be copyrighted) and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket acceptable non-free content categories listed at Wikipedia:Non-free content § Images or Wikipedia:Non-free content § Audio clips, and it is not covered by a more specific non-free content license listed at Category:Wikipedia non-free file copyright templates. However, it is believed that the use of this work:

To illustrate the subject in question
Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information
On the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Copyrights.
Fair use

To the uploader:

Please add a detailed non-free use rationale for each article the image is used in, which must also declare compliance with the other parts of the non-free content criteria, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.
For example non-free use rationales, see Wikipedia:Use rationale examples.
Template:Non-free use rationale may be helpful for stating the rationale.
This tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use.

To patrollers and administrators: If this image has an appropriate rationale please append |image has rationale=yes as a parameter to the license template.

Fair use rationale: Deceased individual, low-resolution photo, used in subject's biography, no free alternative.
