File:Adobe PS - save jpeg dialog.png

[edit]

Reason given by User:Codename Lisa: This image is not simple geometry as claimed. In fact, it is a screenshot of Adobe Photoshop, a proprietary computer program. Hence, it is non-free. Rillke(q?) 18:10, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have restored this screenshot because it only shows common controls from the operating system's library. Adobe's only work was arranging these controls in the dialog, which is IMHO far away from a creative work as required by copyright law. -- Rillke(q?) 18:13, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete Hi. In response to Rillke, I must say that IMHO:
  1. the layout itself is eligible for copyright protection (c.f. File:Windows 8.1 Taskbar.png, Commons:Deletion requests/File:Windows 8 Taskbar.PNG)
  2. the common controls, which come from a non-free operating system, are also copyright protected because gradient and light source for 3D effects are considered copyright-protected. (c.f. File:Windows logo - 2006.svg and File:Windows logo - 2002.svg)

  1. If I read Commons:Deletion requests/File:Windows 8 Taskbar.PNG correctly, it wasn't deleted because the layout would exceed the threshold of originality but because there are many entities.
  2. File:Global Replace 0.3.png looks like a Mac screenshot. I highly doubt it's therefore eligible for copyright despite the shadows and gradients. But if we would find it is, we cannot take screenshots of non-free operating systems at all. -- Rillke(q?) 07:43, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep Future people will simply take only the head, what all was deleted here. In our time, a simple gradient or a shade or shine, in my view, has no original authorship. Anyway they are many free buttons like this. Must not have a copyright or a level of creative a significant difference⁇ PS: Copyright infringement means "made into a very similar work", see also w:Lotus Dev. Corp. v. Borland Int'l, Inc.#Circuit Court case "Since the buttons are essential to operating ..., their layout cannot be copyrighted.". → User: Perhelion 09:50, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Kept: Thank you for the input. Per @Rillke I have opened a more general DR over here. Please transfer your comments if appropriate. --McZusatz (talk) 10:47, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
