Fair use is also valid commercially, that's how they can put them in a book without GPL-ing it (assuming some of the games are GPL). However, this means they're allowed to use the material from the games, not that we're allowed to copy it from the book (when and how the screenshot is made may be considered a copyrightable contribution, for example). > Asking the few real lawyers on -legal would be good.
