In this case, there must be some sort of special

generally am, surely there must be some way to hang on to a few
pictures of deceased editors and tag them appropriately to make their
status clear. Considering all the copyright issues on the project, it
would be a happy day if this were the most pressing of them. I would
be loath for this to be some sort of precedent so that everyone and
his dog wants an excuse to be a special case, but, well, really, I am
OK with this particular image.
Why don't we come up with a "special case" template? "This image is
copyrighted, and cannot be used under fair use. However, the Wikipedia
community has decided that in this special case, it is worth breaching
the copyright anyway".
