Though this image 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 illustrates an educational article about the deceased person that the photograph represents.
- The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic, and could be considered an iconic image.
- It is a low resolution image, and thus not suitable for production of counterfeit goods.
- The photo is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the photo.
- As the subject is deceased, the photograph is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.
