Attempts to exert unnecessary conditions beyond those needed for normal fair use cases on Wikipedia.

*'''Keep'''. It states clearly and links to the explicit use license, and makes reliance on the fair use doctrine unnecessary. This is a special case of "non free", in that permission is ''explicitly granted for publication''. Such explicit licensing is an entirely separate class than either "freely licensed" or use under fair use. Fair use presumes an adversarial relationship with the copyright holder, who grants no permission for use. The fair use doctrine was created to balance the rights of copyright holders with the rights of authors to discuss, and quote with restrictions, small portions of copyrighted works. IMHO, this class of use (licensed, but not free) merits separate representation, as expressed in this template. If only other image sources would "get it" and publish such clear use licensing. WMF Legal really should weigh in here. --[[User:Lexein|Lexein]] ([[User talk:Lexein|talk]]) 00:27, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
