Incorrect license. Please check whether it comes under pd-ineligible Vssun (talk) 02:58, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
Keep. It is a correct license. A trivial w:text mode table is really ineligible for copyright – the matrix of abstract characters is trivial, and the font is a raster one. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 12:07, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

This file was initially tagged by Jesse Viviano as Copyvio (Copyvio) and the most recent rationale was: This is a screenshot of a Lotus 1-2-3, a non-free program, so the screenshot cannot be released into the public domain.
Converted to regular DR to allow for discussion. -- Túrelio (talk) 07:52, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
Also:
- File:Lotus 1-2-3 on PC-98 DOS spreadsheet.jpg
- File:HP 95LX Pocket Computer.JPG - rather clearly de minimis
- Yes, de minimis for the last one. I have to say, though, this is old technology and no longer sold, so the idea that pictures of it could result in legal action strikes me as very odd. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:09, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
- (Especially for File:HP 95LX Pocket Computer.JPG, keep.) The interface consists of a couple of words and a generic spreadsheet. If this is copyrightable, than LibreOffice has a problem. In any case, if a decision is made to remove the last one let me know and I'll blank the interface out, since a loss of this photo would be of great harm to the article.

- Keep all. Unlike a graphical user interface, these old text-based interfaces have very little that could even conceivably be copyrighted. The physical design of the HP 95LX and its manual could conceivably be so, but I think a pragmatic assessment in light of TOO and de minimis suggests this is a non-issue in practice. The physical design is very close to entirely dictated by function, and mostly consists of basic geometric figures and text. There is the trademarked HP logo, but that's a non-copyright restriction. --Xover (talk) 10:57, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
Kept: extremely simple interface, other elements de minimis. --IronGargoyle (talk) 18:07, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
