Summary
[edit]Frederick Griffith, photographer unknown, date unknown, ownership unknown; its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because: It is a historically significant photo of a famous individual. It is of much lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of very inferior quality. The photo is only being used for informational purposes. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because the photo and its historical significance are the object of discussion in the article.
Licensing
[edit]This image is a faithful digitisation of a unique historic image, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the person who created the image or the agency employing the person. It is believed that the use of this image may qualify as non-free use under the Copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. Please remember that the non-free content criteria require that non-free images on Wikipedia must not "[be] used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media." Use of historic images from press agencies must only be of a transformative nature, when the image itself is the subject of commentary rather than the event it depicts (which is the original market role, and is not allowed per policy). | |
