http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Martha_Nussbaum#Images_etc.

Apparently, the philosopher Martha Nussbaum objects to usage of a
CC-licensed photo of her found on Flickr, and claims, at least via a
University of Chicago staffer, that this photo violates her "right of
publicity". While this isn't a pressing issue, since the Flickr photo has
been removed from her Wikipedia entry (for now), and thus I doubt we will
her any more from her. The photo in question does still exist on Commons,
though, so I'm curious what we are supposed to do about this kind of claim?

Thanks
Padraic
