So why are we using copyrighted pictures ?

That is, the image is freely usable when giving the name of the
copyright holder. That's about as free as it gets without getting into
public domain. If we do not use copyrighted pictures, we should remove
those pictures under the GNU/FDL too. They are also copyrighted, but
the author allows their usage under certain preconditions. The same is
going on here, only the preconditions are less stringent.
