Fair use rationale for Image:Twinkle-logo-big.jpg
Image:Twinkle-logo-big.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I am a bit puzzled by the "notability" comment on the twinkle article... especially as I personally have tried 5 SIP phones under linux before finally sticking to twinkle: not only open source, but highly configurable, easy to use, good quality and good interface to the K- mail address book.

If you google for twinkle you will find that I am obviously not the only one who ended up using it after trying out many others:

Twinkle is the first free/ open source SIP client to use a fully free/open source implementation of ZRTP. As the first secure free VOIP clinet, I think it's notable. Not sure how to tind references for its "firstness" though. 67.241.25.16 (talk) 20:09, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
