Kudos for finding a screenshot on Wiki that hasn't been downsized to a postage stamp. For some reason they aggressively enforced a new policy a couple of years ago, and now many of the screenshots are tiny.
Case in point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vchat.PNG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vchat.PNG
What a shame to lose useful illustrations of software history.
- Rinzler89 2y agoIt says there the policy for shrinking down that screenshot is due to it being Microsoft copyrighted content. Probably for other copyrighted content as well. But Krita and other FOSS don't enforce this rule.
- HeckFeck 2y agoSeems a strange rule though, there are countless other websites hosting screenshots of copyrighted software. Surely it is well covered under fair use, if there needs be any legal basis.
- Rinzler89 2y agoIDK what Microsoft though, it could just be some trigger happy lawyers justifying their paychecks the same way Nintendo's do by aggressively defending any an all IP even if it's obsolete, since I doubt Microsoft and anyone there really cares that much about that V-Chat.
