I am in no way an expert in copyright so I can't comment on that aspect of the image.
However, reading through the article it is clear to me that the syndrome can affect several parts of the body. As in many medical images I have seen in the past, nudity of the subject of the image allows for the symptoms referred to to be clearly seen by non-experts on the field (like myself) and be educated. This is not possible in the same way if the subject is clothed.
My personal preference would for the image to be anonymised, in the way that previously suggested (obscuring the subject's face or eyes).

One option in these cases is to anonymize the image to make the subject not immediately recognizable - one common way I see to do this is to block out the subject's eyes or blur their face. I would offer to do this but I have no idea how to work any kind of image editing program, so it would probably be a disaster!

Well said, Lane. We lack a clear consensus around what kind of consent is required for the subject of photos. It's an area that deserves attention.

Hello,
I know this issue. It does look like a mistake that the academic paper has a 2.0 license and Wikipedia tags it as 2.5. Other than that issue,
the
copyright seems in order.
Wikimedia Commons does not have a clear policy on consent for images, other than images should comply with local law. I would like to
establish a
policy on consent because even though there is no policy, people
document
consent in OTRS and petition to remove content based on lack of consent.
More information about this image is in these places.

The issue of consent for photographs is not easy to resolve.

Would someone look at the copyright issues surrounding the image in Marfan syndrome? This article was mentioned in the Signpost as being worked on in honor of Kevin Gorman. The image shows a pubescent child, partially clothed, apparently during a medical exam. The image was
uploaded
with a CC-by-2.5 license. But if you go to the copyright information
in
the case study, it says the article was published under 2.0 license.
There
is separate copyright statement for the image: "Written informed
consent
was obtained from the patient's parents for the publication of this
case
report and accompanying images. A copy of the consent form is
available for
review by the Editor-in-Chief of this journal." It says the child is
13
years old and has a "global intellectual impairment".
Is the consent needed for a medical study in Brazil the same type of consent needed to host an image on Commons? Does the license for the article also apply to the image of the child? Can someone sort through these issues?
