Non-free / fair use media rationale - non-free logo for British Columbia Highway 5A | |
---|---|
Description |
This is a logo owned by the Government of British Columbia for British Columbia Highway 5A. |
Source | |
Article | |
Portion used |
The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image. |
Low resolution? |
The logo is a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution. |
Purpose of use |
The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing British Columbia Highway 5A, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey. |
Replaceable? |
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. |
Other information | Use of the logo in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy, logo guidelines, and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. |
This is an image of a British Columbia highway sign from an official source, and is copyrighted. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of this sign
qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use. |
Aside from the claim that this image qualifies for use without permission under fair use, this image is also available under a license that permits unlimited redistribution and modification but restricts commercial use. Images licensed under such terms do not meet the definition of Free Cultural Works as adopted by the Wikimedia Foundation, and are therefore considered non-free on Wikipedia. This tag must only be used in conjunction with a non-free image tag and a valid fair use rationale. |
Please note that the copyright holder of this image has formally refused to license it under the GFDL. |
