Talking about that: What happened to the case? Someone has any info about it?
AIUI the state of play is: the EFF wrote back saying "your copyright claim is invalid, come on if you think you're hard enough", the images are still up, and NPG and WMF are still on speaking terms. NPG have occasionally made quiet noises asserting the copyright, but are observably *extremely reluctant* to actually push their big noisy legal threat one millimetre further.
This is what I mean when I say that the claim of such copyrights existing is really extremely insubstantial, and that if Adam wishes to make such a claim stick he really would have to push it all the way through the courts, and that shouting abuse at people on a mailing list really just doesn't cut it.
