:[[User:Micahtchi|Micahtchi]], start by assuming that the illustration is conventionally ("All rights reserved") copyright. Can you point to any evidence that it isn't? If it is indeed conventionally ("All rights reserved") copyright, then you may still be able to use it if you claim that the use of it in the [[Handkerchief code]] article (or wherever) is "fair use".

:::But could you make your own version of the code in an image to release under a free copyright? If so it is not fair use. [[User:Graeme Bartlett|Graeme Bartlett]] ([[User talk:Graeme Bartlett|talk]]) 08:23, 5 July 2025 (UTC) |
