Summary[edit]

Licensing:[edit]

This image is a faithful digitisation of a unique historic image, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the person who created the image or the agency employing the person. It is believed that the use of this image may qualify as non-free use under the Copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. Please remember that the non-free content criteria require that non-free images on Wikipedia must not "[be] used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media." Use of historic images from press agencies must only be of a transformative nature, when the image itself is the subject of commentary rather than the event it depicts (which is the original market role, and is not allowed per policy).

License: The image is probably PD but I'm claiming fair use because of the uncertainty. No confirmed free license equivalent; no monetary value that would be affected by our use of it; being used in an article about Leon Feldhendler. This image was taken by an unknown photographer in 1945, close to the end of World War II.

Fair use rationale for Leon Feldhendler[edit]

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. It is a historically significant photo of Leon Feldhendler during World War II.
2. It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
3. The photo is only being used for informational purposes.
4. Because the image depicts a non-reproducible deceased historic figure, there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.
