[edit] Krakout: Commercial or PD?
I am unclear on whether Krakout is commercial software or public domain. The article names a United Kingdom publisher (Gremlin Graphics) which would imply that this is a commercial game. However, the January 1989 issue of RUN Magazine specifically states that Krakout was public domain, and noted that it was available in the PD section on various then-popular online services, including GEnie. RUN was generally a reputable source, and I'm not sure whether the information published there is correct or whether the article is accurate. (I suppose it's possible that the company went out of business and the programmer later released it as PD, or something of that nature, but no evidence was given of that.) Can anyone clarify this?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Krakout.gif
Image:Krakout.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:22, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
