Features several copyrighted logos, and is wrongly licensed as PD-self, cc-by-sa and GFDL. –Tryphon☂ 10:10, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
- VirtualBox and Ubuntu are open-source (GNU), isn't it? Addition I took this screen shot. Why you say "wrongly licensed" Akabe (talk) 03:00, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
- Making a screenshot doesn't give you any copyright over the resulting image, so you cannot just choose any license you want. If you make a screenshot of a GPLed software, the appropriate license would be {{free screenshot|{{GPL}}}} (in the case where you have several pieces of software, which could be licensed under various free licenses, it become more complicated). But even in the case of free software, not all graphic elements are freely licensed. For example, the firefox/thunderbird logos are copyrighted, probably the virtualbox logo too, and definitely the Mac OS X ones. So you need to crop them out. –Tryphon☂ 08:12, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

DeleteAll of the icons are copyrighted and, as noted, while the software may be freely licensed, logos are not. Best example of this is Wikimedia itself -- all content is free, but logo is copyrighted. Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 14:55, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
Kept, logo's that are left are de minimis. Kameraad Pjotr 15:35, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
