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 "OMI cryptograph" : 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.

[edit] Rationale

I (Matt Crypto) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. The image is used for educational purposes only in a non-profit encyclopedia.
2. The image is no larger and of no higher quality than is necessary for the illustration of an article.
3. The artifact depicted is an historical cipher machine which is no longer in production or for sale.
4. The use of the image on Wikipedia is not expected to decrease the value of the copyright.
5. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of this article.
6. The image was likely a promotional image for the product in question.
