Deriv, contains Windows XP UI, although program is GPL, XP UI makes image non-free, unsuitable for commons. Vipersnake151 03:37, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The UI is not copyrightable, it consists of simple windowing elements common to all GUIs. Really these nominations are starting to annoy me. -Nard 04:53, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Here's a test to determine if something is really Free: If I were developing my own Free operating system, copying the titlebar and widgets pixel-for-pixel from these images, and I sold copies, would that be lawful? As for de minimis arguments, the derivative works guideline doesn't even contain "minimis". Until it spells out what is considered de minimis copying for purposes of Commons, people will continue to nominate {{free screenshot}} images from Windows OS for deletion. Besides, what is the "source code" of a GPL screenshot? --Damian Yerrick (☎) 13:04, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Microsoft's own website states that screenshots are legitimate for others to use, even for advertising - as long as it does not use a splash screen, startup screen, et cetera. This is not infringing, it is explicitly permitted. --SparroHawc 02:32, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There is nothing copyrightable in a screenshot of the UI of an operating system. These groundless deletion requests of Windows screenshots should be considered vandalism. -- PauliKL 17:32, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree "The UI is not copyrightable".As for deletion requests being considered vandalism I think we should apply Hanlon's razor("Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity").--IngerAlHaosului 05:54, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Windows 7's Aero shown. Per Commons:Screenshots, Microsoft's guidelines do not allow derivative works. Recommending to create a cropped version (and possibly remove the history of existing file). 80.221.159.67 00:52, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Cropped version now available at File:Notepad++ GUI with MediaWiki source code (cropped).png, which should supersede this file. I'm not going to vote myself. 80.221.159.67 06:44, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: per nomination. --Jcb (talk) 15:38, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Restored as no new arguments provided since the 2008 discussion, which was overwhelmingly favorable to keep. --Bedivere (talk) 18:30, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
