Likewise, any other trademarks, service marks, collective marks, design rights, or similar rights that are mentioned, used or cited in the articles of the AvP Online Encyclopedia are the property of their respective owners. Their use here does not imply that you may use them for any other purpose other than for the same or a similar informational use as contemplated by the original authors of these AvP Online Encyclopedia articles under the GFDL licensing scheme. Unless otherwise stated the AvP Online Encyclopedia is neither endorsed nor affiliated with any of the holders of any such rights and as such the AvP Online Encyclopedia cannot grant any rights to use any otherwise protected materials.

All copyrighted images and other media files that lack a free content license are considered "non-free content". Such material may be used on the AvP Online Encyclopedia only where all 5 of the following criteria are met.

  1. No free equivalent. Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose. Where possible, non-free content is transformed into free material instead of using a fair-use defense, or replaced with a freer alternative if one of acceptable quality is available; "acceptable quality" means a quality sufficient to serve the encyclopedic purpose. (As a quick test, ask yourself: "Can this image be replaced by a different one that has the same effect, or adequately conveyed by text without using a picture at all?" If the answer is yes, the image probably does not meet this criterion.)
  2. Respect for commercial opportunities. Non-free content is not used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media.
  3. (a) Minimal usage. As few non-free content uses as possible are included in each article and in the AvP Online Encyclopedia as a whole. Multiple items are not used if one will suffice; one is used only if necessary.
    (b) Minimal extent of use. An entire work is not used if a portion will suffice. Low- rather than high-resolution/fidelity/sample length is used (especially where the original could be used for piracy). This rule also applies to the copy in the Image: namespace.
  4. Previous publication. Non-free content must have been published outside of the AvP Online Encyclopedia.
  5. Content. Non-free content meets general AvP Online Encyclopedia content requirements and is encyclopedic.

No Aliens or Predators were harmed in the development of this project. (Though several humans were impregnated.)
