good faith rationale. We should make every attempt to address their
concerns of course, and explain that if something has already been
reused there's nothing we can do about it on that end, but we should be
willing to remove their media in order to maintain good relations, which
has a great potential to spread and evangelize to our free media culture
in the future.
I think this is a good thought. We have so few to give why not give the
users a right to delete their own images? Just because you can't revoke
a license that does not /force/ us to keep and display the images forever.
Currently the situation seems unfair to me: The contributor has to give
an irrevocable license but he does not get the right that we keep his
images. Specially when you send a OTRS request this affronts potential
contributors.
Myself I'd like to delete some of my worst early images or upload a
newer version and delete the older. Why not make Commons sexier with a
little effort?
Yours sincerly
