That's great, but it's not compatible with the GFDL. (Placing the image on Wikipedia isn't "personal use" anyway.) So we have to treat the image as non-free, meaning all our fair use criteria must be met. Our fair use policy forbids using a non-free image if a free image could be created that could be used in its place. See criterion #1 and counter-example #8. In this case, it would be possible to create a free image; therefore this non-free image may not be used. Whether a free replacement image exists or not at this time is not relevant. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 19:49, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
