Replaceable non-free use File:FLPpak CD Packaging.png

Thanks for uploading File:FLPpak CD Packaging.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Ирука¹³ 11:06, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

By design, all FLPpak packaging has its copyrighted artwork irremovably printed into an integral component of the packaging (the cardboard outer shell) at the time of manufacture.

FLPpak packaging is uncommon enough that the only examples of it I own are owned by Apple Computer Inc., who I seriously doubt would consider it worth their legal team's time to even consider, even if I had a way to get in touch with the right people.

Furthermore, its online presence is rare enough that I couldn't find any other photos which depict the packaging's structure

> or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

I did take my own photo. That's my dining room table they're sitting on.

It's a photo intended to show the structural composition of an object that relies on cardboard printed with copyrighted artwork as a critical part of its structure. Deitarion (talk) 12:39, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
