Please inform your "kind" colleague, that if they intend to bag
Commons in future, they should ensure that their own house is in order
first; for I now have the sad duty to inform you that they have used
images from Commons with scant regard for licencing, and I have made a
note of this on the image concerned.

The lesson? Before accusing others of violating copyright (i.e.
Commons) one should stop and think twice before they open mouth and
insert foot.
