Image copyrights are more complex (as is well known on Wikipedia), and Doom Wiki does not pretend to be an authority on copyright law. Our current policy is that: Other types of images are discussed on a case-by-case basis (see our image uploading policy).
 * Screen shots of commercially released games can be used under "fair use".
 * Screen shots of PWADs can be used under "fair use" as long as the maps themselves contain no material of dubious copyright status.
 * Map views extracted from WADs can be used under "fair use", provided they contain no raw graphics lumps.
 * LMPs and PWADs, when uploaded by their creator, can be licensed under the GFDL provided that no incompatible license or contract is already in place.
