Summary[edit]
| Description |
Screenshot of Curses (computer game) at the first prompt. The screenshot was taken by me. I relinquish all copyright claims on the image. The game pictured is, of course, copyright by the author, Graham Nelson. This is fair use to illustrate the game. Screenshot taken on Ubuntu 6.06 Linux using the 2006-09-17 release of Gargoyle. |

| Article | |
| Portion used |
A few paragraphs of text in a game that contains hundreds of paragraphs of text. An extremely small snippit of the opening text of the game cannot in any way replace the actual game. A fair use claim for the interpreter is irrelevant as the only things displayed are basic formatting of text and a trivial scroll bar, neither one of which can be copyrighted. The text itself is the game, so Gargoyle can have no claim to it. |
| Low resolution? |
Irrelevant. The work in question is textual, not graphical. The work can have no claim to the specific way the text was rendered. How it is rendered is entirely in the hands of the interpreter, not the game. |
| Purpose of use |
This image illustrates the actual game in its initial state as a typical user on a modern computer might see it. It provides context about what the game looks and what the text typically looks like like that a description cannot match. |
| Replaceable? |
A free version would have to consist of a screenshot of a different game. As such, it wouldn't be equivalent and would fail to illustrate the game. |
