Since when?
Have you even read special:upload since 20:00, 17 May 2005?
I fail to see the relevance of this comment.
There was a change to [[en:mediawiki:uploadtext]] at that point which made assumptions of GFDL on uploaded author created images questionable. Before that point GFDL presumed was legit.

The image was uploaded in May 2004. He died in September 2005. On that timetable "presumed legit" should apply.
