Marked as a copyvio but I disagree, so I changed it from speedy to regular deletion. The BIOS programming is copyrighted, not this screen. This screen shows only a few words in a generic font and any copyrighted use is de minimis to the point where the copyrighted portion is nil ---Nard 22:09, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
- On the other hand, the uploader is an indefinitely blocked sockpuppet (I think the account was hacked though, and the original user is not the same as the troll). -Nard 22:11, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
Keep The logos are blurry and not usable for anything, on the other hand it's a pretty useless picture Madmax32 01:12, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- Agree to Madmax32 - But is still in use on 11 pages in 10 projects and as an elementary result of this trivial fact definitively not useless... --FSHL 19:00, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
- Yes I noticed it's in use, so not useless just not very high quality. Madmax32 00:44, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Delete - I was the user that originally tagged for speedy. The image contains two copyrighted logos, which form a prominent part of the screenshot and are displayed as clearly as the rest of the image. If a BIOS screenshot is needed, I'm sure a higher quality public domain version can be created free of trademarks and copyrighted logos, similar to Image:C64_startup_animiert.gif.

- The logos are so blurry that they can hardly be considered a derivative work, by the way Energy Star is a US government program run by the Environmental Protection Agency, and the logo is trademarked but I think it is not copyrighted [1], so what we are left with is the blurry red triangle since the typeface itself cannot be copyrighted either.

- Delete - outlay of BIOS programming clearly copyrighted, with two logos and text. Fair use is reasonable; free is not. Patstuart 21:48, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
deleted. I consider the Energy Star logo to be unfree and will nominate it for deletion too. --Fred J 16:59, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
