Our use of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NFC" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NFC">non-free content</a> is restricted by the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NFCC" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NFCC">non-free content criteria</a>, which in turn is defined by the <a href="https://freedomdefined.org/Definition" class="extiw" title="freedomdefined:Definition">Definition of Free Cultural Works</a>. But, restrictions independent of their copyright status can still impair the use of a work for "any purpose". For instance in an extreme example, it would generally be illegal to print off a Wikipedia article and use it to commit <a href="/wiki/Murder" title="Murder">murder</a>, but this fact does not mean that the Wikipedia article is non-free. Likewise the legal prohibitions on using a registered mark or an image of a well-known personality to mislead consumers are not considered to impact the freeness of the work. </p><p>As educational and <a href="/wiki/Freedom_of_the_press" title="Freedom of the press">journalistic</a> works, Wikipedia and many reusers of its content enjoy a strong position under US law with respect to most of these non-copyright restrictions. Reusers who are in other jurisdictions, or who are using material in a considerably different manner than Wikipedia may find themselves with a less favorable position, but in almost all cases replacing an image with another substantially similar image would not change the situation, which is entirely unlike concerns arising from copyright considerations. While Wikipedia's licensing is intended to respect the public's freedom, our ability to do so is generally limited to copyright. It is neither possible, nor desirable, for Wikipedia to release people from all laws which they may find inconvenient. </p><p>Although we do not consider these restrictions relevant to our policies we do occasionally add disclaimers such as <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Trademark" title="Template:Trademark">trademark</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> and <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Insignia" title="Template:Insignia">insignia</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> as a general public service. The omission of these disclaimers should not be taken to indicate an absence of possible legal obligations.

If you find yourself deleting a page, media file, text or link because of a legal restriction other than copyright, read this whole page carefully, think twice, and talk it over with other editors. It is very unlikely indeed that the law in question applies to Wikipedia, and there are only a few specialized exceptions.
