While the app is MIT licensed, the music covers are non-free. Unless if the background is dimmed, the image is not freely licensed for use on Wikipedia. Aasim 18:02, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- I do not necessarily think these are copyrighted. If they are, the ones on the right may qualify for Commons:De minimis. The image on the left is not the cover art for the single (seen at en:Cold Skin (Seven Lions and Echos song)) nor is it based on the cover for any of the artist's four albums. It may be an element of the Osu Lazer program itself. Grayfell (talk) 23:21, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- No, cropping this and reverse searching provided no relevant results. This, combined with Commons:De minimis#Guidelines, suggests to me that this is de minimis, since the original image cannot be easily identified from this screenshot.
- Results only came from using the name of the song and the name of the map's author. Even then, the lack of reverse search results is itself surprising. I found this link to a wallpaper site, but this was clearly not uploaded by the original artists or rights-holder. It was uploaded there 20 April 2018. This is before it was (apparently) submitted to the Osu! website 2 June 2018. As background, Osu!'s "maps" are fairly complicated and can include original art and animation, meaning they would reasonably take more than two months to be created, played, and only later formally submitted. For that reason, I don't think the date discrepancy can be taken as evidence of anything either way. I found one other result which was likely a red herring and otherwise no results for this wallpaper. Grayfell (talk) 02:12, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
- The fact that the image is not identifiable unless external sources are used (navigation to the song on the OSU website) should qualify it as Commons:De minimis. Scaledish (talk) 17:08, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- I agree that even if the cover was present in the largest space, the use is likely de minimis since the purpose of the screenshot is not the album covers but the software itself. That being said, this is definitely de minimis given that the large image isn't even a copyrighted album cover. Berchanhimez (talk) 04:26, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
Keep The use of copyrighted images is de minimis; they're not major elements of the image and the image would be just as valuable if they were removed, blurred out, etc. -M.nelson (talk) 15:20, 23 July 2021 (UTC)- Zero results for the background image on TinEye, Google Images is borked rn. You can download the background image used in the screenshot here: https://osu.ppy.sh/beatmapsets/791658/download (it's a zip file) Nathanielcwm (talk) 19:21, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
- Ok my Google Images started working again... Oldest version of the pic I could fine was https://twitter.com/yomi43dtm/status/985434045008904192/photo/1 but it's cropped. I think deleting this and reuploading a blank installation of lazer or showing the main menu instead would be a better idea. The tweet credits @somei_ysnr but their twitter is private.

Kept: Per discussion, I consider the images as shown also de minimis. The twitter image @Nathanielcwm: found is a derivative work of a wallpaper with "free download", see for instance here (close your eyes for the advertisements) Elly (talk) 20:04, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
