The above apparent copyright holder declares this image free for "noncommercial, educational use only." However because the image is illustrating an important historical biographical article, because there are no known freer images available, because the image is no larger than it needs to be for web use, and because we have tried in a good faith manner to provide the original copyright information above so that those who wish to use this image in the future may locate it for licensing, I am going to assert that its use for the article on Otmar von Verschuer on the non-profit, U.S.-based English Wikipedia, falls under the "fair use" provisions of U.S. copyright law. Such criteria may not apply in other uses of this image, even in other pages on this same encyclopedia.

I should like to assert a similar justification for its use in Pioneer Fund. It illustrates the work that the Pioneer Fund supported in the 1920s to 1940s and I know of no free equivalent that would convey that information. Walter Siegmund (talk) 01:06, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
