[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:SuperCollider icon cube bw.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:SuperCollider icon cube bw.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 14:47, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

- I am not sure whether the image available on commons is free. It could be deleted from commons as well. Becuase there is missing essential source and license information. I would say to use the image which was uploaded by you. Please provide fair-use rationale to the image as well and why to you think it could not be replaced by a free image.

- The "fair-use rationale" is already listed on both of the images' pages - the use is to illustrate an icon of a piece of software. In addition: The icon is specifically designed for, and distributed as part of, a GPL-licensed piece of software, so perhaps (although I am less sure of this) the icon comes under the GPL license itself and is therefore free. Any guidance? --mcld 20:07, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
