Would someone please explain to me (I've asked
before, so I'm pretty
sure no one can/will, and it won't matter) how the GNU Free

the words of the license, you have to modify the image itself to
conform to the license, because none of the images have the copyright
attached to them. Then, once you've attacked the copyright notice,
why the hell would you want to use the image, other than to
demonstrate how it can't possibly be applied to images, in which case
images uploaded under GNUFDLBLAHBLAHBLAH are completely worthless,
because no one else can ever use them except under limited and
crippling conditions.
Condtions are not too crippling online and offline well. Collect
enough together and you have a decent amount of radition shielding.
See

for an attempt to fix this.
