Summary

Non-free media data
Description	A screenshot of Award BIOS booting up.
Source	Result of executing a ROM image dump in QEMU/KVM. Some retouching was needed, because the bottom of the screen was overdrawn with garbage after a while in the emulator.
Portion used	Whole screen
Low resolution?	Original resolution, to maintain legibility. Being merely a screenshot of an old (2000) firmware version, this should not impact the company's marketing ability.

Non-free media rationale for Award Software
Article	Award Software
Purpose of use	To demonstrate the most prominent product of Award Software
Replaceable?	Only with another arguably non-free image.

Non-free media rationale for Booting
Article	Booting
Purpose of use	To show a typical bootup screen
Replaceable?	A free replacement (coreboot screenshot) would not be as representative.
