Wikimedia Commons: People want to delete microG screenshots due to being derivative works (licensing/copyright issues)

[rugk]

These images are up-for-debate for deletion:

Apparently I uploaded these images (as CC0) and so I got the notification. AFAIK/what the page shows the images are not used in Wikipedia articles, but well.

The claim is:

screenshots are derivative works not own work

I am not sure legally about that, but if @mar-v-in just got a permission to use the screenshot of an app(?) then maybe that helps? Otherwise, does that imply/mean the images are now licensed under the Apache2 license? Also never heard that I cannot do screenshots and use them even of proprietary software? (But maybe that's just citation rights then.)
