[edit] Fair use in Fishermen's Protective Union

   Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because:
   # It illustrates an educational article about the entity that the flag represents.
   # The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic.
   # It is a low resolution image, and thus not suitable for production of counterfeit goods.
   # The logo is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the flag  - the organization has been defunct since at least 1960.
   # It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
