Fair use rationale for History of Microsoft

Non-free media information and use rationale true for History of Microsoft
Description

This iconic and widely recognized (within the industry) historic image shows that the members of Microsoft, contrary to most other contemporary business organizations, allowed non-business attire and attitudes. It also shows these people together in a pivotal time in their lives and the history of the company.

Article

History of Microsoft

Portion used

Low res version of entire image

Low resolution?

The image is no larger than the necessary to recognize the historic lineup.

Purpose of use

To illustrate discussions about this famous image in articles or sections about Microsoft's history and origins; or to show the individuals involved in this part of their lives, if necessary .

Replaceable?

If this image is used merely to show what an individual in the lineup looks like, it can be replaced by a contemporary free image of the person. If this image is used to show staffing at Microsoft without regard to era, it can be replaced by a current staffing photograph (or combined photos of individuals). But if this iconic image is used to discuss the image itself, no new alternative can replace it. In addition, if this image is clearly being used only to discuss this pivotal event (as discussed in the article) of a person's life, it cannot be replaced.

Licensing

CopyrightedThis is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit.

The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion.

It is believed that the use of some images of promotional material to illustrate:

  • the person(s), product, event, or subject in question;
  • where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it;
  • on the English-language Misplaced Pages, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation;

qualifies as fair use under Copyright law of the United States. Any other usage of this image, on Misplaced Pages or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Misplaced Pages:Non-free content and Misplaced Pages:Publicity photos.

Additionally, the copyright holder may have granted permission for use in works such as Misplaced Pages. However, if they have, this permission likely does not fall under a free license.

Warning sign

Please note that our policy usually considers fair use images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable for the project. If this is not the case for this image, a rationale must be provided proving that the image provides information beyond simple identification or showing that this image is difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should consider whether their use is in violation of the subject's publicity rights.
