This is public and has been so since the first posting. The press release was just a reference of whats going on at Wikimedia Commons, the specific user page describing the case and this mailing list. It is sent out through the mailing list for Wikimedia Norway and it is not a statement on the behalf of Wikimedia Foundation or anybody else.
If someone feel they should not be quoted on what they write on this mailing list they should probably not write it at all as this list is public. This seems to be a real problem as people tend to believe that they write something for me, myself and us two, while the rest of the world infact can read it at will.

I sent out a press release earlier today to newspapers in Norway. It was sent to around 200 recipients. Perhaps others could do the same thing.
Before doing this, it may be an idea to run prospective press releases past Jay and Mike. (jwalsh@wikimedia.org and mgodwin@wikimedia.org).
John, if you could forward Jay and Mike a copy of your press release, and possibly a translation into English, that would I think be of help to them :-)
