Template:Dutch-politician-photo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a photograph of a Dutch politician or other public official that is released by the Dutch Rijksvoorlichtingsdienst (RVD, Dutch Government Information Service), which allows downloading and reproduction of the photograph for
- private use,
- educational use and
- use by the press.
- where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it;
As well, permission may have been granted to reproduce this image for noncommercial-only purposes, but this image does not fall under a free license. Commercial third-party reusers of this image should have permission from the RVD or other copyright holders for using this image and usage for advertisement is not allowed.
It is therefore believed that the use of this photograph
- to illustrate the person in question,
- when the image is unreplaceable, i.e., the subject is dead or missing,
- on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,
qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use.
