It will be used if there have not been found any other avatar images yet for example through OpenID. Libravatar is a free and open replacement for Gravatar. It is a service where people can store an avatar image for their email-addresses. These avatar images can get looked up for example in comment functions, profile pages, etc. on other sites. There exists a central installation at [www.libravatar.com](http://www.libravatar.com), but you can also host it on your own server. If no avatar was found Libravatar will look up at Gravatar as a fallback.
