[Foundation-l] NPG still violating copyright

[Liam Wyatt]

Scott, the director of rights and reproductions a the NPG kindly wrote directly back to me very quickly and said (quoting with permission): 
"We did, indeed, investigate immediately. I am expecting changes to be made, shortly."

So, I assume that not only will changes be made to their website soon but we'll be informed what as soon as it does.

Sincerely,
-Liam
