Set against that is the fact that many of the

No one has argued that we should not provide attribution.
Nor is the origin of the works relevant on that point: The licenses
most Wikimedians use for their photographs have requirements equal to
or stricter than the requirements of images that come from the
outside.
We provide attribution even when the image licensing doesn't require
us to do so.
