[edit] Licensing

This is a screenshot of copyrighted computer software, and the copyright for its contents is most likely held by the author(s) or the company that created the software. It is believed that the use of a limited number of web-resolution screenshots:

…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 for more information.

Attention If this is a screenshot of free software (GPL, BSD, etc.) do not use this template! Use the license tag that correspond to the license instead, optionally alongside {{Free screenshot}} to categorize as a free screenshot.

[edit] Fair use rationale

  • Screenshot that demonstrates a User Account Control dialog box
  • Not likely to cause any financial damage to Microsoft
  • A screenshot is pretty safe territory
  • Wikipedia is a non-profit organisation, downstream providers who are not non-profit will need to consider whether they will take the risk in using this image
  • Clearly used for educational use

This rationale applies to the use of this image in the articles Security and safety features new to Windows Vista, User Account Control, Windows Vista, and Comparison of privilege authorization features.
