Fair use for rationale for use in Boat anchor (metaphor)

[edit]

Though the image Image:Vax11-780.jpg is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because:

  1. It is a historically significant photo of a computing system nearly 30 years old by a defunct manufacturer.
  2. It is of much lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of very inferior quality.
  3. The photo is only being used for informational purposes. Advertising is moot. The product can not be sold or promoted.
  4. 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.
