Hi,
No, I didn't ask any help from the WMF.
I don't know if it would have changed anything.

Did you ask for, or receive, any help from the WMF? If so, was it
effective? If not, do you think you should have done?

Hi,
I have a personal experience which is worth considering.
One of my picture uploaded on Commons under CC-BY-SA was used without
attribution by a political party on their website and 2 of their leaflets
(printed to more than 10,000 copies each).
I contacted them, and they immediately acknowledged that the license was
not respected. Their excuse was "We didn't know", which is quite
difficult
to accept.
But then they stopped answering to my mails.
So I contacted a lawyer, who told me that I should ask "at least 5,000
euros".
Then the politician said to my lawyer than "I have agreed to a
compensation
of a few euros", which is completely false.
Consequence: My lawyer could not negotiate more than a few hundreds
euros.
Morality: It would have been much better for me
to contact a lawyer
directly rather than trying to negotiate an amicable agreement. :(
Regards,
Yann
