Hello
I just found the following image http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:RFJesus.jpg
which seems to be under a different sort of license, if I am not mistaken.
I would like to include that image, in the corresponding German wikipedia article, however so far people hesitated since they believe that this license as expressed in the above url, would/could violate the GDL. I find it odd that different wikipedias have different standards concerning the license politics.
I think the German wikipedia tries to follow german law which doesn't have much of an equiverlet of fair use.
What can be done? May the simplest solution would be to contact the artist (if he/she can be find) and ask for explicit permission.
You almost certianly won't get i.t
Any comments, suggestions?

What do you want to use it for?
