Screenshot of spyware. Taken from Ben Edelman's Web site with his permission under the GFDL. Original URL:

http://www.benedelman.org/spyware/images/blogspot-2a.png

This image was not created by a Wikipedia editor. Rather, it was created by spyware researcher Ben Edelman, who released it to me under the terms of the GFDL (in personal communication -- I emailed him and asked for its release, and he granted it). As such, it is licensed to us under the terms of the GFDL. It is not a "fair use image" under Wikipedia's meaning of that term.

Some contributors may erroneously believe that an original screenshot of the interaction of a number of software products may somehow magically fall under the copyright of those software products. However, this is in no way established as fact; it is rather a naive urban legend. The copyright to this image belongs to its creator, who has graciously licensed it for Wikipedia's use under the GFDL. We use it not under fair use, but explicitly under license. --FOo 05:48, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
