Funny how the first response from a WMF employee was
that they thought
using stock images was OK.
Please don't put words into my mouth that weren't there. I said that I
didn't find it /concerning/, not that it was "OK".
My point in that email was that commons makes it ungodly hard to find
what you want, not commenting on whether or not the use of stock
photography is desirable.
Also, I don't work with fundraising and am not involved with the banners
in any way. Even if I /had/ expressed the opinion that it was Ok to use
stock photography, it'd just be that - my personal opinion.
