[Commons-l] Wikimedia as stock photo source

Yeah its incompatible, SA license requires

   - *Share Alike*—If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may
   distribute the resulting work only under the same, similar or a compatible
   license.

the is an exception that the copyright holder may waiver any condition of a
SA license.

The site licensing clearly isnt the same, similar or compatible.
Interestingly if the images are individually licensed cc-by-3.0 then they
are able to reuse without restriction or requesting a waiver.

The image in http://euobserver.com/7/28830 is a cc-by-3.0 license while the
attribution isnt correct the resue is compatible
While the image in http://euobserver.com/7/28767 is a satalite photograph,
which I have yet to locate on en:WP or Commons but the its either a PD
license or its a government agency license either way attribution shouldnt
be to WP

the other are proving a little difficult to track down for the purpose of
giving example in this email that the image may be reusable under a
different license than cc-by-sa
