== Description ==
This template facilitates creating a non-free or fair use media rationale with the necessary components. Please read [[GSD:Non-free use rationale guideline]] before using this template.

== Usage ==
To use the template, copy the empty template to an image or other media file (see [[Help:Files]]) where the content is regarded to be [[GSD:Non-free content|non-free]], and fill in applicable fields (described below).
<!-- Leave this usage template empty! There is an example in the next section -->
<pre>
{{Non-free use rationale
| Description       = 
| Source            =

| Portion           =

</pre>
;<code>Description</code>: A description of the copyrighted material. '''Always include the copyright holder here.'''
;<code>Source</code>: Where you acquired the copyrighted material, or how you recreated it.
;<code>Article</code>: The exact name of the GSD article in which the media is to be used (unlinked, as the template will link automatically).
;<code id="note-portion">Portion</code>: How much copyrighted material is used? The amount used must not make the work as a whole less valuable to the copyright holder.
;<code id="note-resolution">Low resolution</code>: Is the material in a lower resolution that would be unlikely to impact the copyright owner's ability to resell or otherwise profit from the work? For [[w:raster images|raster images]], this would be strictly the [[image resolution|resolution]] (in pixels) of the picture used; for [[vector graphics]], this would involve the level of detail in the image; for audio, this would be the [[w:bit rate|bit rate]] and [[w:sampling (signal processing)|sample resolution]] used.
;<code id="note-purpose">Purpose</code>: How does the media contribute significantly to the article(s) in which it is used? The use of the media must not interfere with the media's original purpose.
;<code id="note-replace">Replaceability</code>: Explain why sourced text or equivalent [[w:free content|free content]] media (perhaps to be obtained or created) could not adequately convey the article subject.
;<code>Other information</code>: If applicable, provide any other information that justifies the current use of this non-free media. This variable is optional, and can be blank or removed.

| Article           = Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall
| Description       = Book cover of ''[[Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall]]''.
| Source            = Derived from a digital capture (photo/scan) of the book cover (creator of this digital version is irrelevant as the copyright in all equivalent images is still held by the same party). Copyright held by the publisher or the artist. Claimed as fair use regardless.
| Portion           = Book cover only, a small portion of the commercial product.
| Low resolution    = Yes
| Purpose           = The image serves as the primary means of visual identification of the subject (the book). It illustrates educational articles about the book from which the cover illustration was taken.
| Replaceability    = There is no free equivalent of this book cover, so the image cannot be replaced by a free image.
| Other information = The use of the cover will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the original. In particular, copies could not be used to make illegal copies of the book.

The title of the book is not copyright either.

* For more specific rationale templates, look in [[:Category:Non-free use rationale templates]].
* A different approach is to use {{tl|Non-free media data}} combined with {{tl|Non-free media rationale}}, which is less clumsy in situations where an image is used in multiple articles.
* A derivation of this template, optimized for use on copyrighted logos, is {{tl|Non-free use rationale logo}} which automatically includes rationale text relevant to that use case.
* For free images, you may use {{tl|Information}}.
