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).

Fair use rationale for Christer Pettersson[edit]

This image is being linked here; though the picture is subject to copyright I feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. the image is being used strictly for informational and/or educational purposes;
2. it furthers the goals of providing verifiable information concerning the subject matter, in that it visibly demonstrates content which is referenced explicitly or implicitly within the text of the article itself.
3. no free images have been found of the subject, who is deceased, and thus a new free image cannot be created
4. the image has been released by Swedish police to the mass media with the obvious intent of spreading it
