Fair use rationale for History of Microsoft
[edit]
| 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 | |
| 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. |
