- for images or media released under the GNU General Public License.
{{LGPL}}
- for images or media released under the GNU Lesser General Public License.
Free Art License
{{FAL}}
- for images or media distributed under the terms of the Free Art License.
Non-free content
{{FairUse}}
- for copyrighted images or media which are used under fair use terms.
- Do not use this for any Valve images or content.
- If applicable, you can use the first parameter to specify who owns the copyright: e.g.
{{FairUse|Apple Inc}}
Trademarks

- use this in addition to another license tag to show that the image contains trademark(s).
