Request uploader status for free but non FOSS software

I'm the proponent of Pixlr Editor wikibook, a free to use, online Flash based image editor that is not covered by any licence agreable by WikiCommons. I'm writing a user reference for this application and have the product's manager approval for the book and to use screen capture of the different part of the app to better support the textual information. Its been recommended that I ask them for a CC licence, but this company is now part of Autodesk corporation, which leaves the original developers do their thing, because Autodesk referes back to the TOS of the original devs: " *Free products are subject to the terms and conditions of the end-user license and services agreement that accompanies the software " (ref - http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/index?id=17483004&siteID=123112). I don't really think I wish to ask (badger?) swedish Mine Code (the devs) to convince Autodesk to go the FOSS route. But the TOS states that usage is free, and the art produced belongs to the users alone etc, but not the trademark stuff : " All goodwill generated from the use of Pixlr Trademarks will inure to our benefit." (ref -http://pixlr.com/terms_of_service/).

I would thus like to use the screen capture, for which I have permission, as Fair Use, in wikibook, and thus require to become an uploader. By the way, I have obtained the possibility of doing this in the french side of wikibook where I'm developping the book in parallel (naturally, I can't use those images as the text is in french in those interface images). Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Jmdeschamps (discusscontribs) 13:19, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  Done. Please be aware of fair use policies and especially the content at Wikibooks:Templates/Files, without which files uploaded even with the uploader flag would be deleted. WB:UPLOAD provides step-by-step instructions for uploading procedures as implemented here versus those you might be familiar with at Commons. – Adrignola discuss 14:58, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
