This image is of a book cover, and the copyright for it is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover or the publisher of the book. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of book covers

to illustrate an article discussing the book in question
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline, as well as the source of the work and copyright information. Please include in your fair use rationale details of the particular edition (publisher, market & year of publication) of the edition you have used, and also acknowledge any cover artist if such artist is acknowledged in that edition's frontmatter. If the book cover is in the public domain (see Wikipedia:Public domain), then use the appropriate public domain tag rather than this one.

Only one page of the overall document is used and it is presented as a lower quality jpg file of the screen image instead of the html source. --agr 03:58, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Non-free / fair use media rationale for Classified information
Description	Facsimile of the cover page from an East German operation manual for the M-125 Fialka cipher machine.
Source	http://freenet-homepage.de/SASundChiffrierdienst/dv040-1-321.html
Article	Classified information
Portion used	only cover page of original document is shown
Low resolution?	yes, lower quality jpg file of the screen image
Purpose of use	Illustrate a non-U.S. (formerly) classified document in order to provide a world view for this educational article.
Replaceable?	Declassified classified documents are generally the works of governments. While U.S. Government works are public domain, the status of works by other governments is unclear. So any other image would face the same problem.
Other information	Document belonged to the East German Government and describes a device that is no longer in use. Use of this low resolution image is unlikely to adversely affect any market for the original document.
