From everything I've read the only post-processing claimed is rotating and
cropping.
Ten copies of the photo were printed out and stuck on to boards. As of the end of yesterday 3 had been found among the stuff that made it back to WIkimedia UK (although not all the boxes have been opened yet) suggesting that the monkey selfie may appear in other locations yet.
The photos were printed out by Wikimania staff/volunteers, but who had the idea to do so I don't know.

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.

That photographer who took copyright way too seriously didn't deserve respect. It's really silly that when he is actually dragging people into court, we hesitate to use a simple social defense such as this one.
Because Wikimedians don't take copyright way too seriously. ;-)
On that note - how sure are we that the post-processing done to the photo was sufficiently minimal to avoid generating a copyright in its own right?
