Aside from the claim that this image qualifies for use without permission under fair use, this image is also available under a license that permits unlimited redistribution and modification but restricts commercial use. Images licensed under such terms do not meet the definition of Free Cultural Works as adopted by the Wikimedia Foundation, and are therefore considered non-free on Wikipedia.
