Licensing
== Fair use rationale for The Selfish Gene and Richard Dawkins == This image of the book cover of The Selfish Gene, The Selfish Gene2.jpg, is being linked to both from the article on the book and the article on the author. Although the picture is subject to copyright I (Mi kk er (...)) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:


 * 1) it is a low-resolution copy of a book cover;
 * 2) it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the book in any way;
 * 3) copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the book;
 * 4) the image on the cover is significant to both articles because it is the author's best known work and, as the cover of the original edition, illustrates important aspects of the articles.
