[edit] Summary

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Dual Module Player
Description	Dual Module Player's main user interface
Source	Screenshot captured by uploader
Article	Dual Module Player
Portion used	Main user interface (necessary for illustrating its look-and-feel)
Low resolution?	This image is a full sized DOS screen capture. Because Dual Module Player was a text mode program, a smaller image is likely to adversely affect the text display to the point that its educational value is greatly diminished. Also, this static image does not expose any of the music playing algorithms that the software derived its value from.
Purpose of use	This image is intended to illustrate the look-and-feel of a highly popular DOS music module player from the early 1990s. As such text mode programs are now rarely (if ever) produced or used, this image provides significant educational value for readers who may not have had the chance to interact with such programs in their heyday.
Replaceable?	As Dual Module Player was one of the most commonly-used module players in its time, a screenshot of another program will be significantly less representative of the everyday experience of users from that time period.
Other information	Dual Module Player was released under a careware license in which the author granted free distribution rights: "DMP is careware so you can freely copy it to your friends and distribute it to BBSes etc." (from the accompanying DMP.DOC file) In addition, the author has apparently ceased all active development work on this program since 1995.

[edit] Licensing

This is a screenshot of copyrighted computer software, and the copyright for its contents is most likely held by the author(s) or the company that created the software. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots:

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.

To the uploader: 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.

If this is a screenshot of free software (GPL, BSD, etc.) do not use this template! Use the license tag that correspond to the license instead, optionally alongside {{Free screenshot}} to categorize as a free screenshot.
