Fair use rationale for use in VAX edit
- The product in question is historically significant

- The image has been released by HP for historical illustration of the product
- The image clearly identifies the subject in question
- The image is low resolution
Fair use for rationale for use in Boat anchor (metaphor) edit
Though the image Image:Vax11-780.jpg is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because:
- It is a historically significant photo of a computing system nearly 30 years old by a defunct manufacturer.
- It is of much lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of very inferior quality.
- The photo is only being used for informational purposes. Advertising is moot. The product can not be sold or promoted.
- Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because the photo and its historical significance are the object of discussion in the article.
