Summary
Screenshot of the multimedia virtual desktop environment for Delrina's "Echo Lake" software product circa 1995. Derived from http://www.kevinsteele.com/mackerel_el_gallery.html.

Fair Use in Delrina

 * 1) It's a low resolution copy of a now-obsolete product box cover.
 * 2) It doesn't limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the software in any way, and in fact may encourage interest and possibly sales.
 * 3) Because of the low resolution, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the software for use in another software product.
 * 4) The details of the product are discussed in the article which the screenshot effectively illustrates
 * 5) The image on the cover is significant because of the arguably innovative interface it demonstrates
 * 6) Derived from a digital capture (scan/photo) of the product box (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the current owner of this now-obsolete software. Claimed as fair use regardless.

This DOES hold up under the 10 criteria for non-free content:


 * 1) No free equivalent
 * 2) Respect for Commercial Opportunities -- it is the same image as used in vendor's sales catalogs and will encourage sales.
 * 3) Minimal use -- used only within this article
 * 4) Formerly published on a Web-site which was referenced in the original upload
 * 5) Content is encyclopedic - article references the software
 * 6) Falls under fair-use - copyright Delrina, image used by others to showcase album
 * 7) Used in one-article that describes the software
 * 8) Significant to the article itself -- it is the image of the subject being discussed in the article.
 * 9) Located only in the article itself
 * 10) Source of image and copyright noted
