for identification of and critical commentary on the software in question
in the absence of a free alternative,
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. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Context menu
Description	A context menu from my customised Windows XP operating system, showing text and graphics from various commercial software companies, including Microsoft
Source	Taken via a screen dump from my own computer desktop
Article	Context menu
Portion used	This is an incredibly small portion of the software - this image does not provide any of the functionality of the software it is taken from, and simply illustrates what users might see when using it
Low resolution?	380x370
Purpose of use	This image shows a context menu (the subject in question) in a commercial operating system, and complements the image that shows a comparable context menu in a free operating system. A context menu is a feature common to several operating systems, and Windows is the most common in use.
Replaceable?	Since the software depicted is proprietary and only commercially available, it is impossible to create a free version that adequately depicts the software in question
