Aside from that, let's have a bit of common sense:
does anyone
sincerely think that if Martin Niemoeller were alive, he'd object to
the image of that monument being on Wikipedia? Does anyone think that
any of Niemoeller's heirs would object? WTF?!
Personally, I think Wikipedia made a big step forward when it stopped
expecting individual users to understand copyright law, and instead
just set policies that were always going to be within the law.
(So no, asking for "common sense" around copyright issues is not a
good idea, imho.)
