Quite to the contrary, you only asked if the image could be used on Wikipedia, not whether they would license it under the GFDL or anything else. Therefore, they only agreed to using it on Wikipedia, and therefore it should not be used on Wikipedia because it isn't free.
Am I the only person stunned by the complete lack of logical progression here?
A) The owners of the image agreed for it to be used on Wikipedia B) Therefore it can't be.
The point is that we want others to be able to use Wikipedia material under a free license (GFDL). If the permission is only for Wikipedia, it excludes that use and, thus, shouldn't be used.
Surely we can sort out our licensing system better than this self-contradictory nonsense?
Sure we could, but the rest of the copyright-DRM-IP-crazy world wouldn't go for it :-(
