And if somebody uses our images without complying with the license we say it's below the level of creativity.
We do no such thing.
Yes we do. This was thought as a hint for Rama. He complained in this ML about the newspaper Le Matin Bleu taking his picture [1] a few months ago. So I organized a lawyer over Wikimedia CH. He recommended to write a nice letter and ask for a small compensation. Wikimedia CH would have paid all the fees and organize all the administrative stuff. But Rama refused to sign the necessary letter of attorney because he thought his work did not reach the level of creativity. He might be right about that but it's a good illustration that we interpret laws to the disadvantage of ourselves. No question we would delete the picture [2] if no license is given because of copyright violation!
