Talking about that: What happened to the case? Someone

AIUI the state of play is: the EFF wrote back saying "your copyright
claim is invalid, come on if you think you're hard enough", the images
are still up, and NPG and WMF are still on speaking terms. NPG have
occasionally made quiet noises asserting the copyright, but are
observably *extremely reluctant* to actually push their big noisy
legal threat one millimetre further.
This is what I mean when I say that the claim of such copyrights
existing is really extremely insubstantial, and that if Adam wishes to
make such a claim stick he really would have to push it all the way
through the courts, and that shouting abuse at people on a mailing
list really just doesn't cut it.
