As I recall (and Anthere, apologies if I've got this wrong) - the image is a member of the fr community who died recently and Anthere wanted to keep it as a memorial, if it made sense. She was obviously prepared to let it go (and did, in fact, let it go) but someone applied IAR and *poof* it's back.

en.wiki doesn't accept images that are permitted to be used only on Wikipedia, because our content has to be "free", "editable" etc. Then why would images that are permitted to be used only in userspace be tolerated?

Odd, the image has two contradictory license tags, and so does the
source.
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Norbert3.jpg
But neither of the tags indicates a free license.
Apparently the French Wikipedia allows non-free personal images to be used in one's own user space?
Does the Foundation really permit individual sites to make unusual policies like that? Weird.

Well, it's CC-BY-ND, which isn't free by our standards, but use on their userpage wouldn't be infringement by the terms of the license.
