WikiDevi.Wi-Cat.RU:File copyright tags/Non-free

Copyrighted media files may be used in WikiDevi articles on a limited basis, provided they satisfy both the legal test for fair use and WikiDevi's own guidelines for non-free content, found at WikiDevi:Non-free content. Each image or audio file has a file page where any fair-use concerns must be addressed.

Please note: Copyrighted images that can reasonably be replaced by free images may not be used on WikiDevi.

For non-free content, each image page must include:

• A copyright tag to claim fair use. WikiDevi's file upload function and wizard each help editors choose an appropriate tag. A list is below. Non-free images that meet WikiDevi's policy but do not fit into any of the categories below should use the tag {{Non-free fair use in|Article}}.
• A statement describing the source of the media.
• A separate "non-free use rationale" for each use in a WikiDevi article. Instructions, guidelines, samples, and templates are available at WikiDevi:Non-free use rationale guideline.
