Summary

File information
Description

Photograph of an Apple Newton MessagePad PDA screen displaying a hierarchical, collapsible, bulleted Checklist under OS 2. The 3 main top-level bullet points above have been duplicated further down in the Checklist, where they have been "checked-off", and some of their parent bullet points have been collapsed to hide details. The Checklist shows a mixing of multiple fonts and formatting, and drawings. This Checklist was created in the Notes application that is part of the Newton OS. An actual Newton screen is cleaner and has appropriate, even contrast, this screenshot looks this poor because of the photographer's difficulty in photographing the screen. Photographic difficulties are also to blame for the apparent curvature/barrel distortion in the image, there is no curvature to a Newton screen.

Software screenshot. Any copyright I have as photographer I dual-license under the GFDL and CC-By-SA-2.5, 2.0, and 1.0. The subject, the Newton OS software, copyright by Apple, I believe is usable in the U.S. under a fair use doctrine for identification, education, discussion, and critical commentary of the Newton OS. This is a low-resolution, low-quality photo. It cannot impact sales, the Newton product line was discontinued in 1998. The Newton itself was not a media product, it was a s.w./h.w. product, therefore images of it cannot take the market place of the product.

Portion used
Low resolution?

The image is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as artwork on pirate versions or other uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original work.

Purpose of use

The image is significant in illustrating the subject of the article, facilitating critical commentary as it provides an immediate relevance to the reader more capably than the textual description alone.

Replaceable?

As a screenshot, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image of the work would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or critical commentary.

Other information
  1. No free equivalent exists that would effectively identify the article's subject.
  2. The image does not in any way limit the ability of the copyright owners to market or sell their product.
  3. The image is only used sparingly and is rendered in low resolution to avoid piracy.
  4. The image has been published outside of Wikipedia, either as an optical disc format, media broadcast, website content or computer software.
  5. The image meets Wikipedia's media-specific policy.
  6. The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopedic.
  7. The image is used in the article wiki-linked in the section title.
  8. The image is significant in illustrating the subject of the article, facilitating critical commentary as it provides an immediate relevance to the reader more capably than the textual description alone.

Fair use for Apple Newton, Newton OS

[edit]

Though the subject of this picture is subject to copyright I (Jason C.K.) feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  1. This is a low-resolution, low-quality photo
  2. It cannot impact sales, the Newton product line was discontinued in 1998
  3. The Newton itself was not a media product (it is not an image, it is not an audio recording, etc), it was a s.w./h.w. product, therefore images of it cannot take the market place of the product
  4. Its including in the articles adds significantly to the articles because it illustrates the features of the OS in a way that cannot be adequately described in just text
