[edit] Fair use in FICS

Although this image is subject to copyright, I, efigueroa (talk · contribs), feel that its use in FICS is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

It is being used for informational purposes only;
It is the banner of a group for which no equivalent free alternative exists or could be created without infringing on copyright;
It does not infringe upon the original copyright holder's ability to profit from the media; == Licensing ==

This is a logo of an organization, item, or event, and is protected by copyright and/or trademark. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, of logos for certain uses involving identification and critical commentary may qualify as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. Certain commercial use of this image may also be trademark infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Logos.

This tag must have an accompanying fair use rationale which must be unique to the usage of THIS image in each article in which it is used. You must also give the source and copyright information for all fair-use images uploaded.

Use of the logo here does not imply endorsement of the organization by Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation, nor vice versa.
