[edit] Image of the LINC - is it fair use?
It's been proposed to delete the image of the LINC used in this article, Image:1962-linc.png, on grounds that it is not fair use and/or does not have a proper fair use rationale. Anyone know whether that would be appropriate, or have a free alternative? Martin 16:26, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- Although I don't know for sure that this image is in the public domain, it is the standard image used in many places that mention the LINC. Deleting it seems to me unnecessarily aggressive in pursuit of copyright protection. It ought to be sufficient to propose removing images only after complaint by the copyright owners. In this case, the image is so old that it is unlikely that the copyright owner still exists (if a corporate entity) or is aware that they hold the copyright. It is not Wikipedia's place to locate copyright holders. It is Wikipedia's place only to warn contributors not to post copyrighted content. David 22:08, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
