Licensing

Copyrighted

This is a logo of an organization, item, or event, and is protected by copyright and/or trademark. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, of logos for certain uses involving identification and critical commentary may qualify as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. Certain commercial use of this image may also be trademark infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Logos.

This tag is meaningless without an accompanying fair use rationale which must be unique to the usage of THIS image in each article in which it is used. You must also give the source and copyright information for all fair-use images uploaded.

Use of the logo here does not imply endorsement of the organization by Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation, nor does it imply endorsement of Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation by the organization.

This template is under development, as is the bot which enforces it.

Though this image is subject to copyright, I feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws when used in San Francisco 49ers because:

  1. It is a low resolution copy of a logo.
  2. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to make a profit from the logo in any way.
  3. The logo is significant because it is the defining symbol of the club.
