- If I put someones photo on CC-BY-SA (and he has given me right to do
it) it doesn't mean that this image can be used eg. for advertising anti conception pills, because this person has still rights to protect his image..
This is because of publicity rights, it has nothing to do with the license, it's another whole chunk of law... In fact, you can us that image for such purposes so long as you either get the subjects consent, sufficiently obscure his identity, or are just willing to deal with the consequences (which are different and perhaps more acceptable (well, not if you're in France perhaps!) to you than the ones provided by copyright law).
So if ESA has only this problem, I think, that ''special'' license compatible in every other aspect with PD, or CC-BY-SA is acceptable, but if ESA wants as stated some posts earlier any special treatment (educational use only, etc.) it's killing idea of freedom and I don't know how about other wikimedians, but I will leave projects, because I'm not worse than ESA so I want same treatment!
If as the special terms are acceptable enough that we could offer them to everyone, and even accept a fairly large portion of our content under those terms... and still be confident that we wouldn't be failing at our mission.... then I agree completely.
