I changed the topic to say that with permission images are allowed iff
they could be claimed to be fair use too... This is a fact, it is not
my opinion.   When I entered the topic implied that the simple fact
that you obtained permission would have meant you had to delete the
image, no matter what other reasons you also had to keep it, this is
not correct.

I also talked for many minutes, but as I said, I will not participate
if you're going to spin this as some evil conspiracy to commercialize
your labor.
