[edit] Licensing

This image depicts a unit of currency. Some currency designs are ineligible for copyright and are in the public domain. Others are copyrighted. In these cases, their use on Wikipedia is contended to be fair use when they are used for the purposes of commentary or criticism relating to the image of the currency itself. Any other usage of them, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. Additional legal restrictions outside of copyright law including laws regarding counterfeiting may also apply, particularly when this image is used in printed form. To the uploader: If the image is copyrighted, please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.

[edit] Fair use rationale for the Republic of the Rif article

• The purpose of the image's use is non-commercial, educational, and not for profit.
• The image is of too low resolution and too lossy a format (GIF) to make a professional duplicate.
• There is no market for images of Riffan notes. While actual notes themselves are likely of value to collectors, an electronic image of a note has no effect on the market for or value of actual notes.
• Because national symbols are a central part of the image or conception of a state, an image of Riffan currency is of significant value to the article, the purpose of which is to edify the general public about an otherwise obscure short-lived state. Moreover, the notes themselves represent a historically important aspect of Riffan relations and sovereignty.
• As the Republic of the Rif is long since extinct, images of its currency pose no counterfeit threat. The image cannot supersede or diminish the value of any extant Riffan notes.
• It is unclear where copyright may reside, as the notes were produced for a republic that has ceased to exist.
