| == Non-free media question == | |||
| A while back, you posted the following on my talk page: "Thanks for uploading Image:Rubytuesday.svg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information." This is a logo for a restaraunt chain, and, as the non-free rationale stated, "Because it is a logo there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary." Now, this happened two months ago (I haven't been on in a while) and the rationale has been changed, making this whole thing moot, but I'm curious what your thinking is so I better understand the very tenuous copyright adherence in Misplaced Pages. The new rational is that "This image, or text depicted in it, only consists of simple geometric shapes and text. They do not meet the threshold of originality needed for copyright protection, and are therefore public domain." which strikes me as extremely iffy. Can you explain this to me? Thanks. ] (]) 09:41, 27 October 2008 (UTC) | |||
