Nice attempt to overrule Jimbos edict against 'with permissions' images.
Either we (and other folks like us) can use it as fair use and we
don't need his permission or it's not and we should not accept the
image in our article permission or not.
Please don't encourage a regression to a point where we permit images
that others couldn't claim fair use for simply because people will
give us permission to display them on their website.
