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.
yours,

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?
