Yes, the image is usable on Wikipedia. You now need to select a license to let other people use the image:

It requires that anyone re-using the image give you credit for it, and requires that any re-use also be licensed under the GFDL. Further, it requires that any re-use be accompanied by the full text of the GFDL license, which makes it unwieldy to use for anything other than books and websites. To license an image under the GFDL, include " " in the upload summary, or edit the image description page to contain that text.

Not usable-replacable
This image is not usable on Wikipedia. Restricted-license images should only be used on Wikipedia if it is very difficult or impossible to make a free-license replacement. Try contacting other Wikipedia users to see if there's already a free-license image that can be used, or if someone can create an image for you. A good place to look for images is Wikimedia Commons. For asking for images, try an appropriate geographic noticeboard, or a related WikiProject. You can also try placing a request at Requested images or Commons:Image requests, but it may take several months before someone replies.
