Strictly speaking, you'd have to ask the owner of the photo. Given the specifics of that crowd, it wouldn't surprise me if they were planning to make money selling it. :-) In practice, it's probably a "fairusein", enumerating the articles for which you plan to use it. Lack of the actual photographer's name is going to be a problem - without that, no guarantee I wouldn't hit it with a "no source" tag should I run across it in future.
Nice to see you standing up for the rights of felons everywhere. :)
One never knows - haven't there been some convicted writers/photographers who were ordered by the court to sell their work so as to make restitutions from the proceeds?

Even if the feds couldn't transfer the copyright on Kaczynski's writings, they'd probably be able to sell them. That's because they're not trying to reproduce them; instead, they're selling the papers as physical objects, along with other items he owned. `----
