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.)
There is information on how to handle free software screenshots in Wikimedia Commons at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Screenshots
