I expect the photographer would have made that claim already if he did significant post-processing and that WMF would have considered this in their decision.
A WMF legal opinion only applies to the WMF, and will be grounded in the copyright law of the US.
OTOH, the UK copyright law is much less clear in this area, and I get the impression that the UK chapter didnt obtain their own legal advice on this issue.
