Sounds like putting a pic of yourself on Wikipedia is not for you.
No, it's not, and I won't be doing it regardless of what the policy
is. But I think contributors who wish to add pictures of themselves
and their family to their userspace should be allowed to do so without
giving up the rights to those photos. I don't see why we can't give
contributors this minor concession.
