[Wikipedia-l] "(image) quotation policy" proposed in Korean Wikipedia and Commons

[Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason]

If I understand him correctly he seems to think that taking an image
from a work constitutes quoting it, which isn't really the case since
the image is a work in itself and taking the whole thing and
reproducing is not the equivalent of quoting a paper but to reproduce
it completely.

Even if his assumption about quotes held the images in question would
still not be free content, which means they can't be hosted on the
commons[1].

1. There are some non-free images there however, but that's not relevant here.
