File:Belle shot.jpg at enwiki is fair use. A major part of this file is of the proprietary software so perhaps this is a copyvio? I'm not 100% sure if it is free or not. ~ Gauravjuvekar (talk) 08:59, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
Info:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Nokia N8 with Nokia Belle.jpg is similar.--Gauravjuvekar (talk) 09:07, 25 April 2012 (UTC)- Delete a picture of a phone because of a copyvio against the software running on it? Really? --UKER (talk) 14:10, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
- Thats why we don't have (or shouldn't) any pictures of iphone/ipods running iOS with the operating system screens visible. The icons are copyrighted is the reasoning behind that. — raeky (talk | edits) 20:59, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

- Comment: Symbian^3/Anna/Belle are governed by en:Eclipse Public License, and then since 31.03.2011 by Nokia Symbian License 1.0. Portion of the license:
- Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Nokia hereby grants to You a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, irrevocable (except as set forth in Clause 7.1 and 7.2 below), royalty-free and worldwide license under Copyrights licensable by Nokia to: i) reproduce and modify Source Code Components; ii) reproduce Binary Components and Documentation; iii) use and reproduce Utility Software, and iv) publicly display, distribute and make available (a) the Source Code Components to third parties that have acquired a valid source code license from Nokia; and (b) Utility Software, Binary Components and Source Code Components in binary form to third parties, (c) Documentation in unmodified form in all cases i)-iv) solely as part of the Symbian Platform or for use with the Symbian Platform, under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
- So as I understand it, it's basically an open source license (ok, I am not a lawyer), but not a free software license, and the en:Symbian article infobox lists the OS as proprietary (which the previous versions, still maintained, AFAIK, most likely are). Older deletions of files showing Anna and Belle have contended that the Symbian OS UI is "copyrighted by Nokia and others," and a "derivative of non-free content" (redlinks lead to file deletion notes). -Mardus (talk) 07:46, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
