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 :-(
