  • it is used in a non-commercial setting, and therefore is not being used to generate profit in this context
  • its use here does not significantly impede the right of the copyright holder to sell the copyrighted material
  • it is used in a largely unaltered state, where any editing has been done purely for cosmetic/display purposes
  • the original content of the image has not been modified, and it is not a derivative work


Usage

Use the following code when uploading an image, or editing any page in the File namespace:

  • Screenshots

This template is best avoided. Instead, use specific Copyrighted Image Templates. However, if a copyrighted image doesn't fall into any of these categories, then use this template.
