Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. Please remember that the non-free content criteria require that non-free images on Wikipedia must not "[be] used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media." Use of historic images from press agencies must only be of a transformative nature, when the image itself is the subject of commentary rather than the event it depicts (which is the original market role, and is not allowed per policy).

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because:

1. It is an historically significant and iconic image.
2. It is of lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality.
3. The image has no monetary value that our use of it would affect.
4. It has been widely distributed free of charge by the copyright holder.
5. It is being used for informational purposes in an article about the event it depicts.
6. The imagery and its historical significance are a key part of the story and the article would be significantly poorer without it.
7. This particular image was chosen for the infobox because it became the most iconic of all the frames from the France 2 footage, the fear apparent on the boy's face and the father gripping his arm.
