I do believe that Adam's work is enough for him to have some credit for it. If any of us edit an image, we do receive the credit (there is even a template for it: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Retouched_picture ). So, why so much trouble to credit him? Can't we do like we do with multiple licensed pictures (for example: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Redwikiheart-10,8M-heartonly.png )? _____ *Béria Lima*

Regardless; why are we being such dicks? As diametrically opposed to copyright as some of us are, it genuinely doesn't hurt anyone for those works to be tagged CC-BY-SA. They can still be reused widely, Adam gets credit for his hard work, and everyone is happy.
Someone proposed such a tag on Commons for the NPG images (PD in US, CC-by or whatever elsewhere), and supporters happened to include me and DCoetzee, but quite a lot of people strenuously objected. (I don't have a link to hand.) But I'm sure Adam's diplomatic skills will convince people the proposal should be resurrected.
