== Fair use for [[Private Godfrey]] ==
Although the picture is subject to copyright, I ([[w:User:Jack1956|Jack1956]]) am of the opinion that it is covered by fair use provisions of U.S. copyright laws because:
# it is a low resolution scan of a BBC publicity photograph, and hence copies would have no or limited commercial value;
# it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to sell the TV show or derivative productions in any way;
# its use may encourage sales of DVDs of the series in which this character is shown
# the image is being used for non-profit, educational, and/or illustrative/editorial purposes only;
# the TV show ([[Dad's Army]]) featuring this image was produced by the [[BBC]], a [[Public service broadcasting in the United Kingdom|public service broadcaster]];
# the character ([[Private Godfrey]]) represented in the image played a major role in a culturally significant TV show.
