    Summary

    [edit]
    Media data and Non-free use rationale
    Description The first page of the Google Chrome announcement comic by Scott McCloud.
    Author or
    copyright owner    		 Scott McCloud
    Source (WP:NFCC#4) https://scottmccloud.com/googlechrome/ or https://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/index.html
    Date of publication 2008
    Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Google Chrome
    Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) The comic is the subject of the "Announcement" section of the article, but no direct link of preview is provided. And the comic is really interesting and showing that it exists instead of just mentioning it would provide a lot of value to that section.
    Not replaceable with
    free media because     (WP:NFCC#1)    		 The software or website from which the screenshot is taken is copyrighted and not released under a free license, so creation of a free image is not possible.
    Not replaceable with
    textual coverage because     (WP:NFCC#1)    		 The current text does not convey the graphical style or the shown attitude towards open source software.
    Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) The original resolution downloaded was about 1000xsomething. The new resolution is 500 × 710. It also is only the first panel of 38.
    Respect for
    commercial opportunities     (WP:NFCC#2)    		 The use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website will not impact the commercial viability of the software or site.
    Other information The work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 2.5 License.
