Summary

Rationale

This image is the last cover art from the software formerly known as HavenTree Interactive EasyFlow, and is believed to be the copyright of SPSS Inc, as it acquired the assets of HavenTree Software Limited after the company filed for protection under the Canadian Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. The picture is of the box which contained the software license gifted to me on my release as an employee which left me as an unsecured creditor. The software has historical significance as one of the first widespread flowcharting and diagramming programs for the PC.

The image is unavailable under a free licence and due to the nature of the image, will likely never be released under a free licence for the time it remains under copyright. As such, it cannot be replaced with a free image. The image is useful in identifying the software on the article Interactive EasyFlow. The image is not used by SPSS Inc. to generate revenue, so no impact on the company's ability to generate revenue from the logo is expected.

Licensing:

This image is of a software cover, and the copyright for it is most likely held by either the software's publisher or developer. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of software cover art to illustrate the packaging of the software in question where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information, on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
