I've swapped it for a CC-licensed file that does allow for commercial reuse. Problem

Hmm, that file seems to be released under a
non-commercial Creative Commons license, in addition to the GFDL. The bug here seems to be
bad licensing, rather than bad attribution (since when did we start accepting -NC

This is very wrong as license is not fetched and photographer is only Fir;
not all people edited that "file" page.
I raised this complaint earlier (in Commons). This is mentioned at EN too

I think this is a serious violation and need immediate attention.
