[edit] Rationale of fair use for Jomo Kenyatta

The image Image:JomoKenyatta.gif is being linked here; though the original picture may be copyrighted. I Ezeu feel it is covered by fair use because:

This particular image appears without copyright information in multiple print and electronic media (including websites), book covers, ensigns etc. printed by Kenyan government and other publications in Kenya and internationally.
The image depicts one of the most historically significant people in African political history.
The image is important to the article, providing an image of the Jomo Kenyatta.
There are no known free or public domain photographs of Jomo Kenyatta.
This image does not limit the rights of the copyright owners, if such do exist, to distribute the original image in any way.
The photo is used for non-profit and informational purposes only.

This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. 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 "Jomo Kenyatta" :

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 ([2]),

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.
