It does not fall into one of the blanket acceptable non-free content categories listed at Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images or Wikipedia:Non-free content#Audio clips. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "Freedom Tower" : To illustrate the subject in question Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information On the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation ([1]), 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 and Wikipedia:Copyrights. To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed non-free use rationale.

Fair use rationale
The entirety of copyrighted work is being used to illustrate the developer and architect's newest design of the building, the main subject of the Freedom Tower article. This image could be replaced by a free image, but because the design itself of the building is copyrighted by the architect and developer, the rendering would have to be drawn from this image or from a consultation with the architect directly. Until such time an editor has the means available to recreate and then provide their own rendering, this image is considered fair use in the Freedom Tower article.
