Even in userspace? Was that an intentional decision? Does it apply when
people upload photos of themselves?
/Especially/ in userspace (in articles you can at least make a case for
fair use). And people had better be uploading those pictures of
themselves under free licenses such as GFDL, CC, or PD.
Why?
If I ever wanted to put a pic of myself or my kids on WP, I wouldn't
want to release it under a free (or free-ish) license so every troll I
block for vandalism could put my family on their webpage. Of course,
they can already do that, but not legally, for what it's worth.
